The Creston News Advertiser is calling on the community’s support for its “Food for Friends” campaign.
As food pantries all across America are experiencing heavy usage with increased unemployment and under-employment surging due to the COVID-19 pandemic, more residents of our communities are in need. Because of this, the CNA has decided to help its friends by raising funds for the Creston Area Food Pantry.
Through May 31, monetary donations made through the campaign will be given to the Creston Area Food Pantry to help residents within the region who have been impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.
We have now surpassed our second goal of $10,000 thanks to the generous support of the community. As of today, we have raised $10,262
We’d like to recognize the following donations made over the past two weeks:
• A friend, $25
• Tim , Nancy, & Eli Loudon, $100
• Dick & Marilyn Engelson, $200
• A friend, $100
• In memory of : Kevin, Amy, Sterling, and Adrianna Sharp, $1000
• In honor of all caregivers, $50
Checks can be made out to Christmas Basket Fund and can be dropped off at the Creston News Advertiser in the drop box next to the front door. Contributions can also be mailed to the Creston News Advertiser, P.O. Box 126 Creston, IA 50801.
The fund will continue to take contributions until May 31. Contributors will be recognized each Friday. Donations may also be made in memory of or in thanks to someone else.
