November is a time to count our blessings and reflect on what we’re grateful for, and this year, the Town of Clayton invites the community to join in supporting neighbors in need through the Town Food Drive, running Monday, November 10 through Friday, November 21.

During this season, many families face challenges, and even small contributions can make a big difference. Residents are encouraged to donate non-perishable food items, like canned vegetables, pasta, rice, soup, or other foods that don’t need to be refrigerated.

You can drop off donations at these public locations:

• Clayton Community Center (715 Amelia Church Road)

• Hocutt-Ellington Memorial Library’s temporary location (446 East Second Street)

• Town Hall (111 East Second Street)

All items collected will be shared with Clayton Area Ministries and used to fill local Blessings Boxes near Town facilities, helping provide food and comfort to our neighbors in need.

Every can, box, or bag of food makes a difference. Thank you for helping make this season brighter for our community and for showing the caring spirit that makes Clayton such a special place.
