BALLSTON SPA — Ballston Spa Rotary’s Spread the Love Food Drive is officially underway. The annual collection event benefits food pantries in Ballston Spa located at the Christ Episcopal Church, Ballston Spa United Methodist Church, First Baptist Church of Ballston Spa and Scottie’s Pantry at Ballston Spa Schools.

Collection boxes for non-perishable food will be placed at the following local businesses through February 28: Mangino Buick GMC, Agway, Curtis Lumber, Route 50 Diner and Mom & Pop’s Café. A collection table will also be set up at the Ballston Spa High School during all performances of The Spongebob Musical which runs through February 13.

For those who would like to make a monetary donation, you can do so by visiting www.christepiscopalballstonspa.com/pledge, selecting the Food Pantry option in the “To:” field, and entering your information.

“This is a wonderful community project,” said Rotarian Dan Barner. “Ballston Spa Rotary has been holding a food drive for many years and we are so grateful to be able to partner with our business and community friends each year to help feed our hungry neighbors.”

The Spread the Love Food Drive continues through the end of February. For more information, visit ballstonsparotary.com.
