MANASSAS, Va. — Northern Virginia Electric Cooperative's
group of employee volunteers, NOVEC HELPS, is asking area residents to donate
non-perishable food to the Operation Turkey
drive to help provide
Thanksgiving meals for low-income people in Prince William County.
NOVEC HELPS will accept non-perishable food donations through
Nov. 13 at three offices. SERVE, a
campus of Northern Virginia Family Service, and ACTS, Action in Community Through
Service, will distribute the food to people who need assistance. Anyone requiring a receipt must drop donated
items at the SERVE or ACTS locations.
Donna Snellings, NOVEC HELPS executive director, says, "One
of NOVEC's guiding principles is to serve the community with more than
electricity. Helping to feed the needy through Operation Turkey is one way NOVEC
and its members serve others every November."
Suggested Food Items
Breads and muffin mixes, Bisquick, instant mashed potatoes, pasta,
rice, boxed desserts, sugar, flour, evaporated milk, pie crusts, and canned
meats, vegetables, cranberry sauce, fruits, pie filling, and gravy.
