6th Annual Commissioners and Cans Challenge!

Good morning!

Commissioners of the Revenue offices across Virginia are once again participating in Commissioners & Cans Food and Fund Drive challenge!

This fun and friendly challenge between the participating Commissioner’s offices will help fill the shelves for the SEVEN food banks in Virginia. The challenge is to see which office collects the most pounds of food and/or funds per person. Last year, our efforts at the City of Roanoke led to a contribution of 370 pounds of food to Feeding Southwest Virginia. This year’s goal is to tip the scales with over 500 pounds of food donations – and only you can make that happen.

The most needed items this year are:

• Monetary donations to purchase food. See link below to donate.

• Canned meats (tuna, chicken, ham)

• Canned vegetables

• Canned fruits (low sugar)

• Peanut butter and jelly

• Macaroni and cheese

• Hearty, meaty soups

• Pasta and sauces

• Cereal and oatmeal

• Condiments and spices

 

The challenge began August 1st and runs through August 31st.

Bring your food donations to the collection boxes located in the Commissioner’s office on the second floor of the Noel C Taylor Municipal Building (Rooms 213 and 251) or visit https://feedingswva.donorsupport.co/page/CommCans2024 for monetary donations.

We have a short window to collect as much food and funds as we can - let’s get started!

Yours in service,

Ryan S LaFountain

Commissioner of the Revenue, City of Roanoke
