July 1 – October 1.

Donations Network</b></p><p class="MsoNormal">Founded in 1988 by Sara Pines, MSW, Ph.D., Friendship
Donations Network’s mission is to rescue fresh nutritious food from stores and
farms that would otherwise be thrown away and redistribute it to neighbors in
need. This is accomplished by an extensive network of volunteers who pick up
donations of mostly perishable excess and day-old food and deliver them to
pantries and programs that serve in excess of 2,100 people weekly. </p><div style="text-align: center; "> <br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><p class="MsoNormal" align="center" style="text-align:center">###</p>
