The Garden Country FFA is hosting a food drive for the Western Nebraska VOA Food Pantry. The food pantry is in dire need of restocking.
Rose Brassfield from the VOA stated, "In the 2015/2016 fiscal year the Volunteers of America Western Nebraska food pantry served 535 unduplicated individuals. Of these, 179 were youth from 0-18 years. Eighty-eight percent of those who use our food pantry are from Garden County. We appreciate everyone's help, it is difficult not having food to offer to those who are struggling."
There will be a grocery cart designated at the Oshkosh Superette to collect donations. There will also be a collection box at the gate entrances at both Varsity football games, October 13th, and 20th, for any of your donations. Students K-6th and 7th -12th are also competing in their own food drive competition.
