A food drive will be held from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Wednesday in the parking lot of the Tuckahoe Village Shopping Center, in front of Holland Family Chiropractic, 11226 Patterson Ave. in western Henrico County.

Items requested include canned milk, meats, fruits and vegetables; peanut butter and jelly; and beans; as well as paper or plastic bags.
