A total of $1,900 was raised at this year’s Greene County Farm Bureau’s Cram the Cab event held June 13 – 18 at the Jefferson Fareway store.

This dollar total represents a combination from Fareway customers who purchased pre-packed bags of non-perishable food items, customers who rounded up their grocery bill at the cash registers, and cash donations from Greene County Farm Bureau Financial Services agents Kim Tjepkes and Damon Clancy, and the county Farm Bureau.

Wednesday morning Greene County board members Cheyenne Dunham and Tom Safley, Fareway assistant manager Nick Wassenaar and Fareway part-time employee Josh Ewalt delivered more than 44 grocery bags filled with non-perishable food items that had been purchased and also made a check presentation to Greene County Christian Action Resource Center director Shirley Haupert.
