Egg cartons needed

Local food banks have plenty of eggs that were donated for families in need, but need help with cartons to deliver them.

Main Market Co-op organizers are helping collect gently used egg cartons. Drop them off in the bin at the Saranac Building, 25 W. Main Ave., before Sept. 30. Or, call the Spokane Valley Partners Food Bank for information on how to help.
