Suwannee Valley Food Fight

SVEC is uniting with local partners to raise food donations for the Florida Gateway Food Bank, which serves families and pantries in Hamilton, Lafayette, Suwannee and Columbia counties.

From now until Aug. 29, SVEC members can join the cause by dropping off in-date canned or dry food items at our office from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday.

Donors will be entered into a drawing for a $25 bill credit.  No glass items, please. All other in-date dry or canned food is accepted.
