February Collection for the Hartland and Pewaukee Food Pantries and the Lake Area Free Clinic!

The shelves are full again at the local food pantries...at least for a little while, thanks to the 24 VLC volunteers who helped make this food drive such a wonderful success! To our new friends at the Pewaukee High School Key Club, the couples, men, women, teens, and the families with young children (customers cannot resist those children!) who participated. When asked about helping, this family shared: "This was a great experience for the whole family. We feel that giving back to the community is very important, and even more important is to include our children." 10 car fulls of groceries, $550.00 in donations, and in addition to the Food Pantry donations, the Lake Area Free Clinic (http://www.lakeareafreeclinic.org/) received 75 over the counter medications for their clients. This will certainly help both of the pantries and the clinic to serve those in our community who are struggling with the increased demand.
