What an
amazing night...so many generous friends! We started around 4:30 north of the
church and 80+ miles later we finished in Huron around 7:00. We had a yummy supper at Godfather's and then delivered the food at 8:00...they were expecting us! We received
donations from over 30 families and everyone was so generous! They told us that we collected more food than most of the in town food
drives collect...so they were super excited and made the kids super
excited too! After unloading the items they gave us a tour of the Salvation Army and we got to see all of the food in the food pantry & freezers. They also explained how they distribute the food that they receive.
They
were as follows: 15 soups, 2 cans of fruit, 68 cans of vegetables, 35 cans of
meat/beef stew, 5 cans tuna, 3 spaghetti sauces, 2 boxes of tissues, shampoo and soap, 6 honey, 4 peanut butter, 2 jelly, 7 pancake mixes, 1 syrup, 10
oatmeal, 2 cereals, 2 Jell-o, 1 shredded cheese, 34 boxes stuffing, 12 bags of dry
rice/pasta/beans, 2 dried soup mix, 13 instant potatoes, 3 boxes Rice-a-Roni, 13 macaroni & cheese, 2 Hamburger
Helper, 6 canned milks, 9 cake mixes, 7 flour/sugar/brown sugar, 9 ketchup/mustard/mayo/dressing/bbq, 2 coffees, 1 fruit juice, 8 kool-aid mixes, 1 taco shell, 1 popcorn, 1 candy, 1 fruit, 2 gravy mixes and
$25.00. They collected 264 items (102 more than last year) to earn a total of 12,975 scavenger hunt points,
2,940 more points than last year!! We also applied to be a Thrivent
Action Team and were approved so we will be receiving $250 debit card to
purchase more food items for the food pantry as soon as we receive it!!!
