The businesses in Haywood County are collecting non-perishable food donations through July 15 for Hunger Free Haywood, an initiative with MANNA Food Bank to cut down on hunger in the county.

People wanting to donate should look for red barrels setup at participating businesses and organizations, including Walmart and Ingles. Red, White & Boom in Maggie Valley and the Lake Junaluska 4th of July celebration will feature the barrels.

The goal is to collect 50,000 pounds of food as well as educate people about hunger in Haywood County.
