Employees of Whole Foods Roseville warmed our hearts this Winter with the amazing results of their employee-driven holiday food collection and contest. The contest featured specially prepared bags of groceries that customers could "purchase" on behalf of Placer Food Bank. Each bag sold for just $10, and included contents designed specifically to meet the needs of Placer Food Bank families, including nutrition-rich peanut butter, rice milk and cereal. At the end of the contest employees of Whole Foods Roseville donated a total of eight pallets of food to feed the hungry in our community.

The Boy Scouts of the Iron Horse District in Roseville and Granite Bay will be collecting food items during their Annual "Scouting For Food" Drive on Saturday, March 13th. Scouts will pre-deliver grocery bags to area neighborhoods to be filled and picked up on event day, and will also be going door-to-door to collect much needed canned food items. Canned food donations can also be dropped off at any Raley's or Bel Air store in Roseville or Granite Bay, and placed in the specially marked collection bins. Last year the Iron Horse Districted collected over 23,000 cans to help fill the shelves at Placer Food Bank.
