A small idea quickly grew into a community-wide effort to help neighbors in need when Kennie’s Market partnered with the South Central Community Action Program to collect food for the holiday food give out program. Quickly the idea gained momentum. Kennie’s Market donated some much needed items.

Manos Unidas also jumped into action to lend a helping hand. Rice Foods employees donated food, too.

It’s such a blessing to see people and organizations come together to make a difference in Adams County. The original goal was to collect 1,000 pounds of food. The community far exceeded expectations, donating an impressive 1,547 pounds of food.

What began as a small idea turned into a meaningful community-wide project, showing the power of collaboration and the generosity of people coming together to ensure local families have food during the holidays.
