Going door to door on Halloween is typically all about the candy, but for this local group, it means asking for donations for the Woolwich Community Services’ food bank.

The youth group at Elmira’s Woodside Fellowship Church will dress up and collect non-perishable foods, such as various canned goods, macaroni and cheese, peanut butter, or cereal, as examples.

The CANS (Citizens Always Need Supper) food drive is an endeavour that started 21 years ago when a group of young people decided they were too old to collect candy but wanted to support the community.
