The Santa Clarita Valley Corvette Club is hosting its biannual food drive to help feed local families, benefiting the SCV Food Pantry.
“The SCV Corvette Club can think of nothing more fulfilling than to assist the SCV Food Pantry in meeting the demand of feeding those in need within our own community,” said Karen Jewett, the club’s activities coordinator
The club typically sets up some of their Corvettes near the entrance of Sam’s Club, enticing shoppers to come up for a peek before members hand them a flier, asking for contributions.
