Salvation Army Tri-City Corps will hold food drive Saturday at Blue Goose Market

From 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday, the Salvation Army Tri-City Corps will hold a food drive in the parking lot of the Blue Goose Market in St. Charles.

Anyone who donates will receive a coupon for a free donut at Blue Goose, valid June 6 to Aug. 31, to encourage giving and to celebrate National Donut Day, a time-honored tradition in The Salvation Army since 1938.

The Tri-City Corps food pantry is in need of the following:

• Diapers and pull-ups (especially sizes 5 and 6), baby wipes.

• Shampoo, conditioner, toothpaste, deodorant, soap.

• Pads and tampons, adult diapers.

• Laundry detergent, dish soap, paper towels, tissues, brown paper bags.

• Canned ravioli, SpaghettiOs; cans of fruit, beans, vegetables, tuna and chicken.

• Condiments (mustard, mayo, ketchup, etc.), peanut butter, jelly, pancake mix, syrup, cereal.

• Baking staples (flour, sugar, etc.), coffee, tea.

• Pasta, pasta sauce, macaroni and cheese, stuffing, instant mashed potatoes.

Once donors drive into the Blue Goose parking lot, volunteers will assist with unloading the donations and hand out donut coupons good for the rest of the summer. The Salvation Army is also seeking volunteers to help with this event.

Interested volunteers can call Lt. Dena Smith at 630-377-2769.
