Food bank to collect donations





Food Share, Ventura County’s food bank, will launch its inaugural “Faith for Food Share” program, a countywide collection-plate offering for the hungry by congregations of all faiths, from Fri. to Sun., Sept. 16 to 18. Westlake Lutheran Church of Westlake Village is already registered to participate .

The program’s purpose is to raise funds to feed more people, increase public awareness of Food Share’s services, and highlight the faith community’s support of ending local hunger.

Food Share was founded by volunteers 27 years ago in Ventura and now provides food to more than 100,000 people annually.

The Ventura County Board of Supervisors has officially proclaimed Sept. 16 to 18 as “Faith for Food Share Weekend.” Houses of worship of all denominations are invited to participate.

For more information on the event or contributing to Food Share, please call (805) 983-7100 or visit www.foodshare.com.
