LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – The Lake County Holiday Fund will once again make holiday food boxes available to those in need, with the sponsoring organizations also asking for the community’s help to fund the effort.
Registration for holiday food boxes for the northern portion of Lake County will be taken from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday, Nov. 27, at Lake Family Resource Center, 5350 Main St. in Kelseyville.
Residents of residents of Finley, Glenhaven, Kelseyville, Lakeport, Lucerne, Nice and Upper Lake should register on that day.
For the southern portion of Lake County – including residents of Clearlake, Clearlake Oaks, Clearlake Park, Lower Lake and Spring Valley – holiday box registration takes place at NCO Community Action, located at 14832 Lakeshore Drive in Clearlake, from 2 to 5 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 28; 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 29; and 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 30.
No sign ups will be accepted after those days.
All applicants must appear in person, bringing a photo identification and proof of physical residence.
Only one box per address will be allowed.
The boxes will be distributed in December before the holidays. Distribution information will be given at the time of registration.
Donations for the Lake County Holiday Fund are now being accepted at any branch of WestAmerica Bank or Umpqua Bank. Checks should be written to the Lake County Holiday Fund.
Because the Lake County Hunger Task Force is now the fiduciary agency, donations are tax-deductible, since the task force is a registered nonprofit.
The annual holiday food box effort is a cooperative undertaking that includes the Lakeport Rotary, NCO Community Action, Lake County Hunger Task Force, Lake Family Resource Center, WestAmerica Bank, Umpqua Bank and Lake County Publishing.
