News and Events: "Freedom from Hunger" Campaign		ICS invites you to be part of a special food drive and concert!

"Freedom from Hunger" Event Planned

A community-wide food drive is scheduled June 21 through July 12 to help fill the shelves of the Interfaith Community Services Food Bank.

"Often times the summer months are when we see our food supplies drop dramatically," said Bonnie Kampa, Executive Director of ICS.  "The demand for food has doubled since September, so we're really concerned about what we might face this summer." 

Donations of non-perishable food or cash donations will be collected at the ICS office, 2820 West Ina Road, between now and July 12th.  Or, bring them to the "Freedom Concert" on Sunday, July 12th at CDO Baptist Church, 9200 N. Oracle Road.  Members of Rural Metro Fire Department will be present to help collect the food items and cash donations.

The "Freedom Concert" begins at 4 pm and features Dustin Jones, classical guitarist.  A special offering will be taken to support the mission of ICS.  Immediately following the concert, there will be a free ice cream social.  Team members from Best Buy at Oro Valley Marketplace are also volunteering at the event.
