Friday is the last day of the Bank of Brookhaven and The Daily Leader’s annual Holiday Food Pantry Drive.

Donations of all sizes have come in to the newspaper office and the bank and more than $4,500 has already been raised. Donations big and small are appreciated, bank President Shannon Aker said.

The money helps fund five area food banks.

“There is a real need this time of year and we are thankful for any size donation,” he said.
