THE SALVATION ARMY WORKS TO FILL THE FOOD PANTRY THROUGH THE 2020 FALL HARVEST CAMPAIGN
The Quincy Salvation Army, WGEM, and HyVee have partnered together to collect non-perishable food items and monetary donations to assist The Salvation Army food pantries in Quincy, Keokuk, Fort Madison, and Macomb during the 33rd Annual WGEM Fall Harvest Food Drive. Fall Harvest will begin October 1 and end October 31.
“We are looking forward to the 2020 Fall Harvest Campaign,” stated Salvation Army Area Coordinator Captain Michael Sjogren. “This has been a difficult year for many families. We want to ensure that our pantry is fully stocked for the coming winter months in order to meet the increasing need in our community. Whether you are able to give a can of soup, a monetary donation, or host a food drive at your place of work or your place of worship, rest assured that your donation stays at your local Salvation Army and feeds families in need in your community.”
HyVee will offer Fuel Saver Rewards to shoppers who make $5 and $10 donations. Each checkout counter will also have a donation jar present for those who would like to make donations under $5.
A Food Blitz will take place October 9 and 10 at the Harrison HyVee and Broadway HyVee in Quincy. A second Blitz will happen on October 23 and 24.
