The YMCA of Metuchen, Edison, Woodbridge and South Amboy will hold its annual Hunger Doesn’t Take a Vacation food drive from July 1 through Aug. 31.
The Y will collect donations of nonperishable food items and deliver them to the Metuchen Food Pantry at the First Presbyterian Church. The pantry regularly helps individuals and families experiencing food insecurity. Cash donations will also be accepted.
People can bring food donations to three locations — the Metuchen Y at 65 High St., Metuchen, the Edison Y at 1775 Oak Tree Road, Edison and Oakcrest Family Swim Club and Camp at 970 Inman Ave., Edison.
Both Y’s are open from 5:30 a.m. to 10 p.m. weekdays, 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturdays and 8:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. Sundays. The Oakcrest Swim Club is open noon-8 p.m. weekdays and 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. on the weekends. The Oakcrest Camp is open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. weekdays.
