Don't turn your back on the hungry.
That's the hope of the four Tri-City Rotary clubs and Share Family and Community Services as they launch the Generous Hearts food drive this weekend.
These efforts in the past have resulted in the collection of 67,730 lb. of food since 2010 and the groups hope to continue the effort to collect non-perishable food to support struggling families.
The food drive will run from noon to 6 p.m. on Saturday, May 25 and Sunday, May 26 at the following Tri-City grocery stores:
Marketplace IGA, 1410 Parkway Blvd., Coquitlam;
Marketplace IGA, 221 Ioco Rd., Port Moody;
PriceSmart Foods, Pinetree Village, 2991 Lougheed Hwy., Coquitlam;

Save--On-Foods, 2385 Ottawa St., PoCo;
Thrifty Foods, Austin Station, 2662 Austin Ave., Coquitlam;
and Thrifty Foods, Suter Brook, 170 Brew St., PoMo.
