Parker’s Generosity Shines During Last Year's June 2007 Food Drive
Story & Pictures

   An estimated 15,000 pounds of food and hygiene products were donated to the Parker Task Force Food Bank during the 9Cares / Colorado Shares food drive on June 16th.  The community’s generous spirit made Parker the second largest collection point during the day-long effort at the Parker Task Force on East Mainstreet and at the local King Soopers and Safeway stores. The day’s collections also represented a 3,000 pound increase over the June 2006 effort in Parker.

   The next drive will be on Saturday, June 21, 2008.

   The collection sites for the Parker Food Bank will be:

• Parker Task Force (Food Bank) - 20118 East Main Street in Parker.  Google™ Map
• Kings Soopers - Stroh Ranch.
• Kings Soopers - Stonegate.
• Safeway - Parker.

   Both individuals and groups are able to make donations at the Parker Task Force location for this year's food drives.
