August's Project- Food Drives for 3 Food Pantries!




How can 1 person make a HUGE difference by sharing just 2 hours of time?  When you mulitply it times 36 volunteers...sharing 72 hours of time and adding 100's of customers!!!   VLC ran a Food Drive for our area Food Pantries who are always in crisis in the summer months!   Thanks to the volunteers who stepped forward this month, we were able to staff 3 Food Drives...at 3 different grocery stores...for 3 differend Food Pantries this past Saturday August 25th!  A million thanks were shared with the individuals, couples, families, and groups who worked at the drives for the Hartland, Pewaukee, Oconomowoc Pantries and the Lake Area Free Clinic and to the generosity of the customers!   SUV;s full of food along with $1,600.00 in cash donations were shared.   That's making a difference in the lives of families struggling in our own LC communities!   To those who have not yet takend a turn at a drive...give it a try...it feels so good!
