MARYSVILLE — Marysville’s annual All City Food Drive kicks off Nov. 7 with volunteers setting up at several locations around the city.

The Marysville Community Food Bank served 14,660 families with groceries in 2014, and estimates that one out of 10 residents in the Marysville-Tulalip community will use the food bank at least once per year.

Volunteers from a variety of community groups will set up at the Fred Meyer, Albertsons, Grocery Outlet, Haggen and Safeway stores in Marysville and Smokey Point. Red collection barrels will be located throughout the area starting Saturday, Nov. 6.

Donations of food, toys and new books will be accepted throughout the holiday season in the collection barrels or dropped off at the food bank, located behind St. Mary’s Catholic Church at 4150 88th Street. Financial donations can be mailed to P.O. Box 918, Marysville, WA 98270.
