Pack the Porches Food Drive Returns to St. Cloud for 14th Year
ST. CLOUD (WJON News) -- An annual single-day food drive is happening in central Minnesota on Friday.
Catholic Charities of the Diocese of St. Cloud is hosting the 14th annual Pack the Porches Food Drive.
Food and monetary donations can be dropped off from 7:00 a.m. until 1:00 p.m. at Pioneer Place on Fifth in St. Cloud, and St. Cloud Financial Credit Union in Sartell. Donations can also be made online at the Catholic Charities website.
