4 Sites where Food can be taken for Food Drive
Mayor, City Host Food Drive at 4
Florissant Locations For TEAM
Mayor Thomas P. Schneider and City of Florissant have thrown in their full support behind collecting non-perishable food items and are joining The Emergency Assistance Ministry (TEAM)’s food drive. These items will be collected until Dec. 21.
Given the struggling economy that faces many of us and with many people that are unemployed, there is an ever increasing need to support our food pantries, the mayor said.
Florissant will have four drop off sites: The Florissant Police Department (North Highway 67 and North New Florissant Road), the James J. Eagan Center (Waterford & Parker Road), the John F. Kennedy Center (Howdershell & Charbonier) and the Florissant City Hall (955 rue St. Francois).
Mayor Schneider said, “I ask that you help support this food drive and try and donate as much as you can to help those that need our help during this Holiday Season. I am making this plea to all citizens of Florissant who are gainfully employed or have the means to purchase food for those who cannot.”
In addition to a critical need for food, there is always a need for funds to maintain the basic operations of the food pantry and to purchase food in bulk. To aid in providing financial assistance, Mayor Schneider has designated the following dates as Dress Down Days for the employees of Florissant, Dec. 9, 16 and the 21. All monies that are collected will go directly to TEAM.
If you have donations of food or funds and cannot get to one of the drop off sites, please contact the Mayor’s office at 314-839-7601 and a volunteer will pick them up and deliver them to TEAM.
