Dundalk Chamber's Thanksgiving Food Drive Under Way

While many people look forward to the coming holiday season, with special holiday meals to plan and prepare and Christmas shopping lists to make, others dread this time of year because it becomes more apparent there isn't enough money for a turkey dinner or that special gift for a child.

The Dundalk Chamber of Commerce is one of many local organizations that urges its members to remember those less fortunate and has once again kicked off its annual "Thanks-for-Giving" food drive.

Nonperishable food items may be dropped off at the Chamber office (in the Dundalk Florist shop, 7233 German Hill Road) until Nov. 18. 

All food will be donated to the Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center Emergency Food Closet, according to Chamber Executive Director Dotty Cristy.

Donors may also take food donations to the following drop-off spots:

• Toland and Co., 7315 Holabird Ave., 410-282-5600
