The Editor,

Re: “Crossing faiths,” News, July 9

 Thank you for publicizing the second multi-faith community food drive.

The community responded and the Richmond Food Bank received significant contributions of $2,000 and 1,200 pounds of food. Volunteers put together nutritionally balanced grocery parcels for the 600 households who come to us in a typical week. These include individuals and families in crises, people with chronic physical and mental disabilities who must manage on very limited incomes.
