Business Cares Food Drive Struggling

With less than two weeks to go, organizers of the Business Cares Food Drive say they have yet to collect half the food and money needed.

This year's goal is 281, 535 lbs of food.

"Year over year, I'm a little concerned that we're going to meet our goals. I'm going to have  really put a plea out to the London community to really help us to meet our goals, because we've got a long way to go right now," says Co-Chair Wayne Dunn. "We have 11 days left in the campaign. The big push is going to have to start this weekend and into next week."

The goal is to deliver the food to the London Food Bank on December 23.
