Annual drive asking for unopened, non-perishable donations for the needy
The Chester Food Pantry hopes to collect 1,000 items during its annual Millie Grazie Food Drive this week.
The pantry has partnered with Jon Ionfrida, owner of GianAngelo's and Café Marcella, who volunteered to give free food to anyone who donates a bag of unopened non-perishable items to the pantry. Both restaurants also are serving as drop-off points for the food drive.
GianAngelo's will be giving out a free slice of pizza and soda or 10 percent off an order between Monday and Sunday. The restaurant also will transform its parking lot into a drive-thru for more convenient drop-off.
Café Marcella will give out a free bagel and coffee on Sunday from 9 am to 1 pm.
