PORTLAND — Whole Foods Market on Somerset Street is hosting a food drive today through Saturday to benefit Wayside Kitchen and Food Rescue.

Wayside staff and volunteers will provide a shopping list to customers at the store’s entrance and ask them to consider purchasing one or more items from the list. Wayside representatives will collect food donations as shoppers leave the store.

All donations will benefit Wayside food programs, including the prepared meal service, mobile food pantries and the 51 other area pantries and agencies in southern Maine that receive free food from Wayside.

The market is open from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m.
