A Great Week for a Food Drive!



This was a great day for our food pantry. Skaith school finished up their week long drive, bringing in over 600 items. The youth who coordinated this event deserve a big THANK YOU!

In addition, Heartland Comprehensive Family Care Center held a 3-day drive and filled a truck and an SUV with approximately 3,000 items! Thank you to everyone who helped make this event a success, and congratulations to Dr. Wiederholt's team for winning the friendly competition!

The generosity of our community never ceases to amaze me. The thing that sets InterServ apart is its partnership with the faith community. People meet God in their interaction with the poor and vulnerable. Seek justice, love mercy, walk humbly with your God!

I remember the days when Mrs. Hornaday at Central led a mammoth food drive competition. The object was to see which class could gather the most canned goods. Truck loads were gathered. Educating the students about the causes of hunger was accomplished. In a conversation last week about Thanksgiving days gone by, our son remembered beating Mrs. Northrup's class.
