October 16 is World Food Day.  Altadena Community Garden, Arroyo Food Coop, Neighbors Building a Better Altadena and RIPE Altadena (Residential In-season Produce Exchange of Altadena) are partnering to honor the day by holding a food drive.  Members of these four organizations will be at the Altadena Community Center from 6-8 p.m. on October 16 to collect donations of non-perishable food and to share information about their respective organizations.
