Trick or Treat for AIM to Stock Shelves for Holiday Meals

Greg Wilson/Anderson Observer

It’s scary how empty the AIM food pantries get going into the end of the year, so they are asking the community for help.

AIM’s annual “Trick or Treat So Others Can Eat” food drive, which continues to help restock the shelves to feed those in our community who need a little extra help, is now under way. And it doesn't end on Halloween.

For the Halloween season and beyond, members of the community can make it possible for hundreds of families to have food on the table by donating canned goods and non-perishable items collected to stock AIM's Fishes and Loaves Food Pantry.

This event helps jump-start the upcoming holiday season and AIM is inviting the entire community to join, which hopes to provide more than 1,000 turkeys and boxes of food for holiday meals for those in need.

All non-perishable food is welcome. bit avoid glass items. Please do not include items which will crush, such as bread. Soups, canned vegetables, canned meats, rice, beans, peanut butter, and pasta are among the most requested items.

Financial donations will go even farther toward helping those in our community who need a littel extra help.

Perishable items need to be brought directly to the AIM offices. For more information, call 864-965-9077, email Sarah.Skelton@aimcharity.org or visit https://www.aimcharity.org
