Bartell Drugs launches food drive

Bartell Drugs will launch a “Stock the Pantry” food drive with Northwest Harvest by accepting nonperishable food donations at all 55 Bartell Drug locations from June 1 to 14.

The two-week food drive is to help Northwest Harvest replenish food stocks during summer months – when families that normally depend on free or reduced-price school meals may struggle to provide those meals at home.

Some “kid-friendly” food item suggestions include tuna, instant oatmeal, macaroni and cheese, peanut butter, cheese crackers, applesauce and canned fruit in individual serving sizes.
