Marion County's annual holiday food drive happens every December to help local food pantries restock their shelves for our community's needs throughout the holidays.

Items needed:

• Dry foods and complementary goods (rice, pasta, pasta sauce, cereal, crackers, peanut butter, jelly). Plastic containers preferred.
• Canned meat (corned beef, chicken, ham, tuna)
• Canned vegetables and fruits
• Baby items (food, diapers, lotion, wipes)
• Toiletries (soap, shampoo, deodorant, toothbrushes, toothpaste, toilet paper)

Your donations stay local! Bring the Harvest Home benefits Brother's Keeper, Interfaith Emergency Services, & the Salvation Army.

Drop-off locations

• County administration, 601 SE 25th Ave., Ocala
