Food drive for Peru JCEO Food Shelf almost half-way to 1,000 pound goal
Bob Manchester & Bob Herforth inventory and weigh every item delivered
Peru – This past Wednesday, May 6th, Bob Manchester and Bob Herforth delivered 339 pounds of food and beverages to the Peru JCEO Food Shelf bringing the K of C’s ongoing food drive total to 424 pounds. If the 1,000-pound goal can be achieved over the next several days the Peru Knights of Columbus Council will earn a $100 national incentive award which they will donate to the Food Shelf.
Peru residents have been making both food and monetary donations. Manchester and Herforth purchased at least half of Wednesday’s food with money donated by Peru residents.
Food donations can be left in or near the baskets in the entrance/narthex of St. Augustine’s Church at 3035 Main St. They will be secured daily and brought to the Food Shelf weekly.
If you have questions please call Bob Manchester at 518-643-8977 or Bob Herforth at 518-643-8854.
