Additionally, volunteers, drivers and donations of canned goods, perishables, non-perishables, turkeys, hams and all the trimmings for a hearty holiday meal are requested.
The Murrieta Senior Center Food Bank is a non-profit organization that works with about 25 volunteers throughout the year to make sure no one goes hungry, providing a daily bread distribution to hundreds of area families.
They also offer a twice-monthly brown bag food program for seniors age 60 and older, as well as a monthly food staple program that serves an additional 175 seniors and a government commodities program for some 200 registered families.
The most recent program to be added is a pet food bank for senior citizens’ furry companions.
Donations are accepted from 8 to 11 a.m. Monday through Friday at the Murrieta Senior Center Food Bank, located 41538 Eastman Drive Suite C in Murrieta.
