This year’s Westland Insurance food drive is expanding nationwide.

Westland has teamed up with Save-On-Foods and the Cranbrook Food Bank to collect donations for the community.

With help from Cranbrook residents, Westland said it hopes to fill the “Westland Car” to the top with donations.

Westland is accepting cash and food item donations and will provide a list of needed items.

People can donate at Save-On-Foods, 505 Victoria Ave. N.; Westland Insurance, 300-535 Victoria Ave. N.; or Westland Insurance, 1317 Cranbrook St. N., from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Wednesday, May 27.

Additional donation locations are available on the Westland Insurance website.

Westland said it hopes this year’s campaign will be its most successful yet.
