YOUR TOWN: W.G. holding Thanksgiving food basket drive

The city of Winter Garden is sponsoring a Thanksgiving food basket drive for the West Orange Christian Service Center. To get involved, contact the Service Center at (407) 656-6678. 

A family receiving a food basket typically includes six people. Items required for a basket: $10 gift card to Publix or Winn Dixie, dessert, bread or mix, stuffing mix, two canned vegetables, sweet potatoes and cranberry sauce. Place items in a box or plastic laundry basket. If purchasing a turkey, keep it separate so it can be refrigerated.

Optional items that can be included: apples, coffee, pie crust, brown sugar, evaporated milk, onions, canned pumpkin, flour and sugar.

Food baskets must be dropped off at the Christian Service Center, 300 W. Franklin St., Ocoee, by noon Friday, Nov. 20.
