The Pocatello Mayor’s Youth Advisory Council (MYAC) is asking for your help to support those in need. MYAC will be holding an Essential Needs Drive Saturday, November 22, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Pocatello Police Department Substation, located at 800 Yellowstone Avenue near Fred Meyer.
During the event, MYAC members will be collecting donations of non-perishable, shelf-stable food, non-perishable snacks, feminine hygiene products, toiletries, diapers, laundry detergent, and other essential items to support individuals and families in need.
Collected items will be placed in the two Little Free Pantries established by MYAC. Currently, there are two locations, one is located in the City Hall parking lot (near recycle bins) and the other is located in the parking lot of the Community Recreation Center (near Freckleton Park).
The Pocatello Mayor’s Youth Advisory Council is comprised of 9th through 12th grade students who live within the Pocatello/Chubbuck School District boundaries. Members are appointed by the Mayor and serve until they graduate.
