Schaefer Autobody Centers announced its 2022 holiday food drive initiative, Drive Out Hunger.
The locally-owned auto body leader welcomes the community to join it in collecting non-perishable food and essential non-food items to donate to the St. Louis Area Foodbank.
With rising food prices, the community needs help collecting much needed items for neighbors in need. All donations to the food drive will be kept local.
To make donating convenient, items can be dropped off at any of Schaefer Autobody Centers’ 14 locations during regular business hours, Monday through Friday, 7:30 a.m.–5:30 p.m.
Per the St. Louis Area Foodbank, the best items to donate include:
- Canned meat and fish
- Mac and cheese
- Instant mashed potatoes
- Canned fruits and veggies
- Peanut butter
- Jelly
- Juice
- Canned chili
- Beans
- Canned soup
- Rice and pasta products
- Cereal and oatmeal
- Powdered milk
- Crackers
- Fruit snacks
- Granola bars
- Applesauce
- Personal care items
- Feminine care products
- Baby care products
- Household essentials
Donations that support special diets and/or specific chronic conditions are also accepted and encouraged. Food donations that are high in protein, 100% whole grain, low or reduced sodium and low sugar make the most nutritional impact.
Starting Nov. 14, Schaefer Autobody Centers will be accepting donations through Dec. 19. To find the Schaefer Autobody Centers location nearest you, visit www.schaeferautobody.com/locations/.
