SAYRE, Pa. (WETM) — Guthrie is asking the community to help those in need this holiday season by participating in its food drive.

Starting on Tuesday, Nov. 28, Guthrie will have collection boxes set up in all of its hospitals. Guthrie employees and community members can drop off non-perishable food items in these boxes until the end of the day on Friday, Dec. 15.

The food donated at Guthrie hospitals will be distributed to Child Hunger Outreach Partners (CHOP), the Corning Food Bank, and Seven Valleys Health Coalition. These organizations will use the donations to fight food insecurity and partner with additional agencies in need.

Those who would like to participate in this food drive can drop off their donations at the following locations:

• Guthrie Robert Packer Hospital, Sayre Campus
  • The drop box will be in the atrium
  • 1 Guthrie Square, Sayre, Pa.
• Guthrie Robert Packer Hospital, Towanda Campus
