Community Food Drive Will Benefit Valley Churches United

Thanksgiving is just around the corner and Valley Churches United Mission needs the community’s help in feeding the hungry this holiday season.

On Nov. 18, from 4 to 7 p.m., a community food drive and fundraiser will be held at 235 Mt. Hermon Rd. to benefit the organization. The event is not only a time to help those in need, but also a time to socialize and get to know your fellow neighbors. There will be wine tasting and small bites of food available, as well as a raffle for a new 3G iPad and other prizes.

Tickets for the raffle are 1 for $5 or 5 for $20 and are currently on sale at Century 21 Showcase, 237 Mt. Hermon Rd., Scotts Valley; Century 21 Showcase, 13210 Central Ave., Boulder Creek; Valley Churches United Mission, 9400 Highway 9, Ben Lomond; and RPM Mortgage, 740 Front St., Santa Cruz. A bag of food or a cash donation will get you one free raffle ticket.
