Holiday Food Drive | 15 November 2025 | 10:00am – 2:00pm
The Community Service Club’s annual Holiday Food Drive is fast approaching! This year, we are partnered with Blue Star/Twin Mills Club and the Denver/Lake Norman Satellite Rotary Club.
The Blue Star Gait to Gate event in November theme is about Movement – Community – Giving Back. Our food drive is all about giving back to the community as we donate what we collect to the East Lincoln Christian Ministry, a local member of the Second Harvest Food Bank of Metrolina. If you’d like to see the need and impact of our food drive, take a look at the facts about Lincoln County from Second Harvest.
