Charlottesville has five elected officials who are considered “constitutional officers” and one of them told the City Council on Monday that his office is competing with others across the Commonwealth of Virginia to see who can collect the most for area food banks.
“The Commissioners and Cans Food and Fund Drive is an annual partnership between the Commissioners of Revenue Association of Virginia and the Virginia Federation of Food Banks,” said Todd Divers, Charlottesville’s Commissioner of Revenue.
For the entire month of August, Divers’ office will be collecting money and collecting canned goods at the Treasurer’s lobby in City Hall as well as the second floor of the building in front of City Council chambers.
“You can also donate online at charlottesville.gov/COR and follow the link,” Divers said. “That’s actually a bigger bang for your buck because $1 will help contribute to four meals.”
