Erie County Legislator Joe Lorigo, members of the Legislature’s Minority Caucus, the South Line Fire Company, and Dave’s Christmas Wonderland are teaming up to host a contact-free food drive to help FeedMore of Western New York continue feeding families throughout the community.

The drive will take place Saturday, May 23, 2020 at Dave’s Christmas Wonderland’s Depew location, 1460 French Road in the Catalyst Fitness plaza. Items sought include: canned fruits and vegetables, and shelf-stable proteins such as peanut butter, canned fish, and chicken. Volunteers will be on-site to secure donations from 10am-1pm.

Legislator Lorigo said, “We look forward to helping our community partners at FeedMore WNY continue the work they are doing. Any little bit of help can go a long way in fighting hunger throughout our region. All donations are greatly appreciated!”

"Many of our neighbors are in need right now," said Dave Gordon, owner of Dave's Christmas Wonderland. "As a locally-owned business, we have appreciated our community supporting us during this time of crisis and we are grateful for the opportunity to give back."

For every 5 items donated, Dave’s Christmas Wonderland will offer a mask free of charge. Anyone with questions can contact Legislator Lorigo’s office at 716-858-8922 or by emailing Joseph.Lorigo@erie.gov.
