Corporate Food Fight
Each year during the summer our pantry usually runs low on food. In the month of June we ask local businesses to take part in this fun effort to bring in food items or financial donations during the summer. The organization collecting the most pounds of food will be crowned Corporate Food Fight Champion. All participating companies are recognized during the month in our ROL communications. |
