Jackson Community Garden to host Christmas Food Drive
FROM WILLIAM J. LEWIS, PRESIDENT AND FOUNDER, JACKSON COMMUNITY GARDEN:
CHRISTMAS FOOD DRIVE
Jackson Community Garden will be hosting a Christmas Food Drive on Saturday, December 9th, 2023 from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Lewis Tax Firm, located at 127 Devonshire Square, Jackson, TN 38305.
We will have volunteers that will greet the donors at their vehicles to collect the food items and provide statements for their taxes, if desired.
All food items donated during this event will be distributed to Jackson residents on Saturday, December 16th, 2023.
Jackson Community Garden is a 501(c)(3) Non–Profit Organization that provides free food to West Tennessee residents.
We have attached a list of recommended food items to be donated.
If there are any questions, you can contact Jackson Community Garden at 731-300-4403.
The holiday season is often times the hardest on families, financially, and I hope that we can bring relief to many families by removing the burden of buying food during this time of year.
Thank you all for your support!
