Mail Carriers Food Drive 2013

Last Saturday (May 11th) was our Annual Mail Carriers Food Drive! Residents left donations for the pantry on their porches. All Saturday afternoon donations were collected and brought to FISH to be sorted. We collected over 20000 pounds of food!!

So THANK YOU!
This wouldn't have been possible with out the countless donations and support from the community.

Also, a big thank you to:
-FISH Volunteers
-AmVets Post 8
-Grace Lutheran
-NHS Volunteers
-Galesburg United Way
-Knox College
-Knox Colleges Blessings In A Backpack
-Galesburg High School

-All other Volunteers


We had an incredible amount of volunteers who gave their time to help us out. So thank you to each and every one of them!

Here's some pictures from the drive:
