The Power Ranch community is preparing for its 13th annual food drive to benefit House of Refuge, a local nonprofit that provides transitional housing and support services for families in need.
Organizers will collect donations of nonperishable food items to help stock the nonprofit's pantry. According to event organizers, the annual drive helps provide food assistance for several months each year.
Residents who would like to participate can leave donation bags in front of their homes, visible from the street, by 7 a.m. on pickup day of Nov. 18. Collection is scheduled to run from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m.
