October 3, 2016 (Springfield, Pa) – Crozer-Keystone Health System employees have a long-standing tradition of helping their neighbors in need through numerous community outreach efforts, including the health system’s annual food drive. This year’s food drive is scheduled from Oct. 24 to Nov. 21. The Community Action Agency of Delaware County (CAADC) is the primary beneficiary for the food drive, and Loaves and Fishes Food Pantry in Prospect Park is the beneficiary of the food drive at Taylor Hospital.

Members of the local community are invited to participate alongside Crozer-Keystone employees in this campaign by choosing from multiple drop-off locations within the health system. In addition, the Delaware County Chamber of Commerce has agreed to continue its participation with this campaign and will have a drop-off location inside the Chamber office, which is located at 1001 Baltimore Pike, Ste 9LL in Springfield. The CAADC has partnered with other community partners as well in Delaware County who have agreed to serve as drop-off locations, and these locations can be found at www.caadc.org.

For the Crozer-Keystone food drive from Oct. 24 to Nov. 21, food should be packaged in cans, boxes, or plastic bottles. Some examples include: canned fruit and vegetables, canned pasta, cereal, macaroni and cheese, bottled water, peanut butter/jelly (in plastic jars), pork and beans, soups, tuna fish and canned meats.

Drop-off bins are located within Crozer-Keystone at the following locations:
