The East Hampton Food Pantry’s annual Harvest Food Drive happens on Saturday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the middle school. A team of volunteers will be collecting nonperishable food in front of the school, and high school students will be stationed across the street at Stop and Shop, encouraging shoppers to add needed items to their grocery lists.

At the same time, members of the Rotary Club will be at the I.G.A. on North Main Street, also collecting food donations for the pantry. Monetary donations can be made through the pantry’s website.
