Thanks for feeding our food barrel…

On Jan. 30 Steve and Joan Mudrick took 97 pounds of “assorted food items,” AFI in technical terms, from our food barrel to the Food Bank Market on the Business Loop. Thanks to all who have been feeding our barrel, which is helping to feed community members. Everyone is invited to feed our barrel!
