Bottled water packaged in cases is still being collected Friday at The Foodbank and Sinclair Community College and next week at The Foodbank.
Michelle Riley, CEO of The Foodbank, said donations through Thursday are close to filling a third semi trailer. The first two deliveries directed by Matthew 25: Ministries should pull out of The Foodbank’s Dayton warehouse next week, while Feeding America will handle logistics of the third.
The Foodbank will be closed for the Labor Day holiday on Monday, but Riley said cases of water can still be dropped off today and Tuesday through Thursday next week.
“People are coming by with a case, some people are coming by with a half of skid. People are pulling up with trucks,” she said. “The Miami Valley is always very generous to our community, but to see such a response to this national crisis is wonderful.”
