Local pantry shelves in dire need of food Comment MailTribune.com Writer Posted Dec. 29, 2015 at 11:42 AM Updated Dec 29, 2015 at 3:29 PM Posted Dec. 29, 2015 at 11:42 AM Updated Dec 29, 2015 at 3:29 PM » Social News The annual holiday ACCESS Food for Hope Drive is running short of expectations, and pantry shelves are in need of food to help families in 2016. As of Monday, ACCESS had raised $14,000 in cash donations toward its goal of $40,000 by Jan. 1 and 15,000 pounds of food toward its goal of 30,000 pounds, said Pam Slater, ACCESS development director. ACCESS is starting a Food for Hope "Help Fill the Pantries" drive on Facebook . Cash donations can be made online at ACCESSHelps.org (click on the grocery bag). Grocery donations can be dropped off at the Mail Tribune, ACCESS, any fire station and Umpqua locations in Jackson County, Sherm’s Thunderbird, Food 4 Less, Ascension Lutheran Church, Medford Congregational Church, St. Paul’s Lutheran Church and Westminster Presbyterian Church. All food donated stays in Jackson County to fill 24 food pantries and help nearly 50 community partners. Donations of foods rich in protein are especially needed, including peanut butter, canned tuna, canned meat and beans. However, donations of any nonperishable food items are always welcome.
