On July 4 the Kiwanis Club of the Central Adirondacks sponsored its 7th annual Food Kart Day for the Webb Community Food Pantry and it was very successful. The Webb Community Food Pantry, located at St. Bartholomew's Church is always in need of additional non-perishable food items.
Kiwanis members and other volunteers were stationed at Kalil's Market in Inlet, DiOrio's Supermarket in Old, Forge and Kinney Drugs in Old Forge. They asked shoppers to consider buying an additional non-perishable food item and drop them off in the grocery carts stationed as they exited the stores. Each shopper was provided with a "Shopping List" of typical non-perishable food items that might be purchased for the Food Pantry.
The shoppers were very generous and cart after cart was filled with various food items. Father Shane Lynch of St. Bartholomew's Church, who is the Webb Food Pantry Coordinator, expressed his sincere thanks.
At the end of the day, Kiwanis volunteers transported over three pickup truck loads of food items to the Webb Community Food Pantry located at St. Bartholomew's Church for distribution as needed and collected over $400.00 in cash donations. The cash is useful for client expense needs other than food.
