Ocean City is organizing a food drive in memory of Regina Ralston, the vice president of the Ocean City Ecumenical Council and manager of the Ocean City Food Cupboard, who passed away last week.

Anybody can drop off non-perishable food donations or personal care items at the following locations during business hours throughout the month of July: City Hall Welcome Center (861 Asbury Avenue, Ninth Street entrance), Knight Building (115 E. 12th Street), Aquatic and Fitness Center (1735 Simpson Avenue) or the 46th Street Welcome Center (46th Street and West Avenue).

“I am issuing a challenge to the community to donate to the Food Cupboard in memory of Regina,” Mayor Jay Gillian said. “I would hope that this would have been her one wish. Let’s honor her memory by filling our Food Cupboard shelves.”

All food will be donated to the Ocean City Ecumenical Council’s Community Food Cupboard. Please do not include items that have expired or are in glass containers.

Some recommended items include:

• Canned pastas
• Canned vegetables
• Cans of soup
• Peanut butter
• Jelly
• Cereal
• Shampoo
• Toothpaste and toothbrushes
• Deodorant
• Body soap
• Paper products (such as tissues)
