Furia Rubel Helps Kick Off Summer Food Drive

The firm is partnering with the Bucks County Housing Group to stock the Doylestown Food Pantry.

 

Summer is a time when many Doylestown-area families plan vacations, maybe to the shore, or maybe to a place like Disney World.

For many struggling area families, however - especially children - summer actually puts them at more risk. That's because school is out, and kids who get free breakfasts and lunches may have to go without those meals.

"In an effort to stop hunger in our area, we are asking our friends to join us in supporting the Bucks County Housing Group’s summer food drive," firm founder Gina Rubel said . "Gifts of non-perishable items, monetary donations and gift cards to local Bucks County grocery stores will help keep the county’s food pantries stocked for those who might otherwise go hungry this summer."

Needed non-perishable items include canned fruit, chunky soups, healthy kids’ snacks, instant coffee, peanut butter, jelly, juice boxes, kids’ cereals, powdered milk, spaghetti sauce, sugar and tuna.

Organizations interested in supporting the food drive may contact Furia Rubel at (215) 340-0480 or the Housing Group at (215) 598-3566.

The Housing Group also would happily accept monetary donations and/or gift cards to Acme Markets, Bottom Dollar Food, Giant, Kmart, Landis Super Markets, Target, Trader Joe’s, Walmart, Wegmans or Whole Foods Market.
