Trio Of Bosque County
Food Drives Set Friday
By David Anderson
ASSOCIATE EDITOR
CLIFTON — The annual
Pood for Families food drive is
scheduled this Friday, Nov. 17,
at locations across Central
Texas, including Bosque and
several other counties. Locally,
donation sites will be set up in
Clifton, Meridian, and Valley
Mills for the event, with the
drive set to run from 6 a.m. to 6
p.m..
Food for Families is a loose-
knit coalition of food pantries
working together to feed the
hungry people of Central
Texas. The food collected in
each county remains in that
county for distribution by local
nonprofit organizations.
“The Clifton Food Pantry,
along with the Clifton Ministe-
rial Alliance and several ser-
vice organizations, will seek to
raise some 25,00 pounds of food
for the Clifton area,” said Dr.
Jerry Smith.
Smith said that the Clifton
Food Pantry has seen its great-
est usage ever the past few
months, and he attributed that
to the rising costs of living, in-
cluding higher utility and gaso-
line bills, that deplete local
families’ economic well-being.
“We need dried rice and dry
beans, flour, sugar, corn meal,
