Cherry Hill Township is collecting food donations for Thanksgiving, with its current official guidance listing drop-offs from Nov. 1 through Nov. 22.
The township’s food collection page, checked Nov. 5, gives Nov. 22 as the end of the collection period. The Sun Newspapers’ Nov. 4 report instead lists Nov. 23. Donors planning a last-day trip should confirm the deadline and that location’s hours with the township or collection site.
