The Delaware Township Trustee’s Office is launching a new community food drive called “Trick or Eat,” designed to help restock shelves at local food pantries ahead of the holiday season.

The initiative, developed by Beth Myers, Deputy Delaware Township Trustee and Director of Client Services, will take place in conjunction with the City of Fishers’ annual Boo Bash event later this month. The effort will benefit five local food pantries, including the township’s own pantry, which distributes more than 6,000 pounds of food each month to families in need within the Hamilton Southeastern (HSE) school district.

Donations of nonperishable food items will be accepted at designated collection points during Boo Bash. All items collected will be distributed among the participating pantries serving residents of the HSE area.

The Trustee’s Office encourages residents attending Boo Bash to bring a canned good or pantry item to contribute.

For more information about the Trick or Eat drive or to learn how to donate, contact the Delaware Township Trustee’s Office or visit the event’s information booth during Boo Bash.
