MOBILE, Alabama -- The Mobile County Health Department's Social and Nutritional Programs division is hosting the 2014 annual food drive to benefit the Bay Area Food Bank.
"I'd like to ask everyone to take a few minutes to share from your pantry to help us have a successful drive," said Dr. Bernard Eichold, Health Officer for Mobile County.
Last year, Health Department employees showed their generosity by donating 616 pounds of food, which was enough to provide 473 meals for needy families and residents living along the Gulf Coast.
"We have set a goal of collecting 850 pounds of food this year," Eichold said. "If we reach our goal, we'll have a special dress down day in January to celebrate our accomplishment."
Staff members should bring food donations to the annual holiday staff training and employee recognition event at noon, Friday, Dec. 5, 2015, at the Mobile Marriott on Airport Boulevard.
