The City of Irvine invites you to participate in a Drive-Thru Food Collection event on April 18, 10 a.m.-noon, at Irvine Civic Center. Community members are invited to donate non-perishable food items during this event, which is being hosted in observance of Ramadan. All donations support Families Forward, a nonprofit helping families in need in Orange County.

This is a drop-and-go event; all food items need to be in the trunk of your car and visitors are asked to remain in their vehicles the entire time. Donations most needed include:

• Pasta Sauce and Dried Pasta
• Peanut Butter
• Canned Fruit
• Rice (1lb or 2lb bags)
• Canned Chicken or Tuna
• Canned Beans
• Canned Vegetables
• Cereal
