The City of Oxford has launched its third annual Thanksgiving Food Drive and invites all members of the community to participate by donating non-perishable food items to fight hunger.
This year, the city is partnering with The Help Center NC to fight hunger in the community. Donations are being accepted until Nov. 17 at numerous locations throughout the city, including:
- Public Works
- Parks & Recreation
- Fire Department
- Police Department
- Oxford City Hall
Folks who want to combine a little aerobic activity to their donation can join a Zumba class that will be held in Hix Meeting Room on Nov. 3 and on Nov. 17 at the Public Works meeting room. The classes will be from 5:30 p.m. to 7 p.m. Hix Meeting Room is located at 313 E. Spring St., Oxford.
Participants should bring three non-perishable food items per class, according to information from city administrative assistant Alyssa Blair. For more information, contact Blair at 919.603.1102 or socialmedia@oxfordnc.org.
