Let’s come together for our neighbors. 💛
Rotary Lights, TV 8, Organic Valley, and Midwest Family Radio are teaming up to support the Hunger Task Force with a 3-week food drive—and they could use our help. On Fridays, July 11, 18, and 25 from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m., they’ll be collecting food and donations at two locations: the Hy-Vee Parking Lot and the old K-Mart lot.
The need for food support has never been greater, and every can, box, or dollar helps. If you’re able, consider stopping by and giving what you can. This is what community looks like.
