Photos: Golder Ranch FD and Oro Valley Hospital host food drive
The Golder Ranch Fire District and Oro Valley Hospital hosted a drive-thru food drive to give an outlet to those in the community to help one another.
"People want to give back now but don't know how," Golder Ranch Fire District Captain/PIO Adam Jarrold said.
Five members of the fire district spent Tuesday morning taking donations of non-perishable foods from drivers in the parking lot of the hospital.
Jeff Bell, marketing manager with IMPACT of Southern Arizona, estimated that over one thousand pounds of food would be donated. The organization assists roughly 500 families a week.
IMPACT plans to have another drive in May which they will announce on their website and Facebook page.
