Volunteers from the Laguna Beach Interfaith Council will be collecting donations of nonperishable food between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. at three local grocery stores on Saturday, May 16. The most-needed items are breakfast cereal, canned tuna, peanut butter, jelly, pasta, and pasta sauce.

Expect to see them outside Haggen, Ralphs and Pavilions to collect donations for the Laguna Food Pantry. Monetary donations can also be made on the spot using a QR code and a mobile device or by check.

Volunteers can sign up for two-hour shifts by calling local coordinator Sally Barron at 949 497-2343.

The Laguna Food Pantry north of the dog park in Laguna Canyon distributes 2,500 pounds of fresh groceries weekly to low-income households, 20 percent of whom are children. New volunteers are always welcome.
