Letter to the Editor: The food bank needs your help

My name is Ellise Stager and I am going to be a junior at Niwot High School in the fall. The Community Food Share is in need of food contribution as a result of the global pandemic, and in an effort to replenish the Community Food Share, I'm hosting a canned and non-perishable food drive in the Niwot community. The week of June 22-26, I will be collecting food from neighborhoods. If you would like for me to pick up the food from your home, kindly leave grocery bag(s) out by noon and visible from the street with a note attached for identification. The dates I will collect are as follows:

Day 1 (June 22) Somerset, Springhill, Autumn Ridge, Monte Vista, Foxhaven, Legend Ridge, and Gold Branch areas.

Day 2 (June 23) Morton Heights, Niwot Hills, Quiet Retreat, Waterford, Spring Creek Trail, Gold Nugget Drive, Niwot Hills, and Overbrook areas.

Day 3 (June 24) Old Town Niwot, 83rd St, Brittany Place, Niwot Meadow Farm, Timothy Place, Dry Creek Road, Burgundy Park, and Johnson Farm areas.

Day 4 (June 25) Cottonwood Park, Cottonwood Park West, Peppertree Estates, Countryside Drive, Country Creek, Centrebridge, Meadowlake Road, Monarch Road, Monarch Park, Niwot Estates, and Triple Crown Meadows areas.

There will also be a collection box at the Niwot Market in Cottonwood Square. I will pick up the box and its contents throughout the next two weeks ending on Friday, June 25th at noon.

I hope we can all come together as a community to help people in need, especially in these unusual circumstances.

All good wishes,

Ellise Stager
