GrowSecure Canned Food Drive
Published Thursday, January 19, 2012 5:00 am

GrowSecure Insurance and Financial Services of Loveland is organizing a Canned Food Drive from January 17th through February 17th. Many Northern Colorado businesses are getting involved to help in this community effort, including Lighthouse Chiropractic, the Colorado Eagles, Jax,  and Home State Bank. After this rewarding holiday season it is important to think about those who aren”™t as fortunate and give back. For every 5 pounds of food or $1.00 donated, the food bank can distribute 4 meals worth of food for a family in need in Larimer County. Join GrowSecure and their partners to achieve this goal for our community members.  This Canned Food Drive will include many drop-off locations throughout Loveland. See the list below to find the nearest and easiest drop-off location for you:
