Town Employees to Host Food Drive for Loudoun Hunger Relief
Leesburg, VA (September 26, 2019) – In honor of National Customer Service Week, which is
celebrated annually during the first full week in October, Town of Leesburg employees will be
collecting non-perishable food items from Friday, October 7 through Friday, October 11, 2019.
Donations can be made in the lobby at Town Hall, 25 W Market Street, or at Ida Lee Recreation
Center, 60 Ida Lee Drive, NW. Requested food items include dry beans, whole grain pasta, rice,
cereal, mac and cheese, canned meats, peanut butter, hearty soups, and oils.
All donations will be delivered to Loudoun Hunger Relief, which serves 8,000 Loudoun County
residents a year. Almost half of that number belongs to Leesburg residents while 40 percent are
children and 13 percent are senior citizens. Last year, Town staff donated more than 600
pounds of food to the local non-profit.
For more information, regarding the collection, call 703-777-2420.
