(KNSI) – The annual Pack the Porches food and fund Drive raised over 6,437 pounds of food and $21,291 for Catholic Charities Emergency Services Food Shelf in St. Cloud.
Friday’s fundraiser collected cash and nonperishable food items at Pioneer Place on Fifth downtown St. Cloud, St. Cloud Financial Credit Union in Sartell, and St. Cloud Hyundai in Waite Park.
Coborn’s also sweetened the pot by matching all food and monetary contributions up to $15,000. A big shout out to Cathedral High and Middle School, who donated 70 bags of groceries and more than $2,700.
Donations stay local to help hungry families in central Minnesota, but it is part of a wider effort to help stock food shelves across the state during Minnesota FoodShare Month.
