City hosts Spring into Giving food drive

The Marysville Community Food Bank has declared a state of emergency due to a significant depletion of its food supplies. Director Amy Howell emphasized the urgent need for community support to sustain their efforts in feeding local families. Donations can be made in person at the Marysville Civic Center and Community Center through May 14, with a list of most-needed items available. Key food items include boxed rice, canned proteins, and cereals, alongside essential non-food items like diapers and laundry detergent. The food bank has seen a spike in demand, making donations critical during this period.

Online contributions are also encouraged through their website, allowing for broader community engagement. Supporting the food bank not only addresses immediate hunger but also strengthens community ties. Local residents are urged to participate in this vital effort to help their neighbors in need.
