City of Statesville Hosts Second Annual Canned Food Drive (February)

Just a few days left to donate to the Second Annual Canned Food Drive in celebration of Canned Food Month this February.

Building on the success of last year’s campaign, this initiative aims to support local food pantries and help families and individuals in need within the community.

Throughout February, residents are encouraged to donate non-perishable canned food items at convenient drop-off locations across the city.
