DIXON, CA (MPG) - Dixon Family Services received a bunch of free groceries this past week after an impromptu visit by Christa and Joe Bruch, owners of Dixon Grocery Outlet with a wonderful donation.  They brought cases of canned soup and cereal and $260 in Gift Cards to donate to the Dixon Family Services Food Pantry.

"The people we serve really appreciate it when we can give a gift card along with several bags of non-perishable foods," said Executive Director Cookie Powell in an email. "The cards allow them to also get some refrigerated and/or frozen items they need for their families. Thank you, Christa and Joe!"

If anyone would also like to help Dixon Family Services, they welcome all donations of checks, gift certificates, and non-expired shelf-safe food. One can also donate with a credit card on the DFS website: www.dixonfamilyservices.org by clicking on 'Donate.'

In addition, if there is someone you know who needs help from DFS, one can encourage them to suggest they call Powell at (707) 678-0442 or email [email protected].
