Bring your non-perishable food items to Chelan Market (310 W. Manson Hwy.) or Walmart (108 Apple Blossom Drive) during the food drive.
You can also bring your donations directly to the Chelan Food Bank at 417 S. Bradley Street. (They are open Monday through Thursday from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.)

- Fresh & Perishable Food: Fresh produce, meat, bread, and bakery items. (Holiday periods often see specific requests for larger items like hams and whole chickens).
