JCC Executive Director Nancy Mowen shares how the donations benefit the community:
“The food is distributed in our pantry. We are currently seeing an increase in our numbers. Right now we are at about 160 households. Typically at the Half-Way to Freezing for Food Food Drive, we will be looking for fruit and we can take fresh fruit. We look for vegetables, boxed meals, rice is always a good thing; we have breakfast food on our shelves and that includes granola bars, cereal, oatmeal, and pancakes.”
