CONWAY — Like so many other events, the 19th annual Vaughan Community Food Drive is taking on a different look this year due to the COVID-19 pandemic. But organizers want to get the word out that it very definitely is still on to serve its mission of feeding the hungry.
Sponsored by Mt. Washington Radio Group, the food drive on Nov. 18 will be held the usual hours of 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. outside the new Vaughan Food Pantry in North Conway. But it will be a checks or cash-only donations this year, with no food accepted due to safety concerns.
