The Red Cross is putting together a food drive to help those who have served our country ahead of Veterans Day on Nov. 11.

The drive benefits the Veterans’ Food Pantry, which is at the Albany VA Center.

They are in need of donations right now, including canned meat, canned veggies and fruit, and new men’s sneakers.

The food drives are this Saturday and Sunday, Nov. 9 and Nov. 10 from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the VA Center.
