Help us stuff our truck with cans of food for Central Ohio Food Banks. Bring all the food you can. Thank you in advance for your generous food contributions. If you have a special vehicle you would like to offer for display at our event, please contact the Parks office at 614- 652-3922 by July 20. New this year! We’ll have a display of information on a variety of topics relating to “green” living. Sponsored by Giant Eagle. | ||||
