Local Fire Departments Announce Pop Top Canned Food Drive for Tornado Victims
Several local fire departments have partnered with the One Generation Away food bank to collect pop top canned goods and other non-perishable items for those devastated by the deadly overnight tornadoes.
One Generation Away Executive Director Chris Whitney stressed the great need for items with easy open and/or pop tops, as well as easy mac and cheese, cereal bars, peanut butter and crackers, and diapers and wipes. Donations will be accepted through December 21, from 7 AM to 7 PM, at Brentwood Fire Station 1, Fairview Fire Station 31, and all Franklin and Spring Hill Fire Stations. Whitney said there is not a need for water and Gatorade at this time.
