American Legion Food Drive for Eastern Shore Pantry
American Legion Post 56 in Cheriton has an ongoing Holiday Project to provide canned food to the Eastern Shore Food Pantry. A box is located inside Post 56 near the front door to collect canned goods for our neighbors who need help this year. Not everyone is fortunate enough to have a family who can feed them during this Christmas season. All members and their families are asked to please consider donating canned goods to this project.
