Giving Thanks: Join our food drive to benefit NBC4's Food 4 Families

Look no further for a way to help local families in need this Thanksgiving! Our intern, Monique Currie of the Washington Mystics, tipped us off to Food 4 Families and our food drive was born.

We invite you to drop off non-perishable food items to any of our sales offices now through Sunday, November 20, to benefit NBC4's Food 4 Families.

All donations will be delivered to the Verizon Center the following day for a "food-a-thon" that provides baskets of food to families throughout the region so that they can enjoy Thanksgiving dinners.

NBC4 suggests the following items:

• Canned vegetables (yams, carrots, green beans, corn)
• Cranberry sauce
• Apple sauce
• Canned fruits
• Soups (box and can)
• Dry goods (stuffing, rice, macaroni & cheese, mashed potatoes)

Our sales centers at Capitol Quarter, Chancellor's Row at Brookland Metro and Old Town Commons will be happy to accept your donations.
