Dallas Kiwanis to collect breakfast foods for food pantry

The Kiwanis Club of Dallas will host ‘Breakfast from the Heart of the Back Mountain,’ a food collection drive to benefit the Back Mountain Food Pantry. The event will be held from 9 a.m. to noon Saturday, May 4, in the Dallas Township Municipal Building parking lot located at 105 Lt. Michael Cleary Drive, Dallas. The Back Mountain Food Pantry serves needy families in the Dallas and Lake-Lehman school districts. While grant funding helps with summer lunches for children, this event will help with breakfast. Suggested items to donate include non-perishable items such as pancake/waffle mixes, syrup, cereal, oatmeal, dry milk, non-perishable milk, breakfast bars, Pop-Tarts, instant breakfast packs, fruit juices and baby formulas. Club members will be on hand to help with the food collection.
