Y News: Food Drive a Huge Success!
Thank you so much to everyone who participated in our Drive Thru Food Drive on May 20! We were so encouraged by the wonderful turnout. Because of your generosity, we were able to donate 1,464 items to ProjectSHARE!
Personal Trainer Brooke Wiseman unloads a donation during the Drive Thru Food Drive.
Group Exercise Instructor Linda Henninger takes bags from the trunk of a donor.
Donations took up a large portion of the Arch Street vestibule.
After letting donations sit for a few days, we sorted them by type.
Then everything was boxed and bagged for delivery.
Then everything was unloaded at ProjectSHARE this week.
