From South Carolina-
At 4:15 p.m. on Saturday, March 3, representatives of St. John’s Episcopal Church delivered 2,249 pounds of food collected in just one day at two different Piggly Wiggly locations. The collected shelf-stable food arrived in two pickup trucks, a trailer, and a filled SUV.
The donated food, collected in just one day by St. John’s Episcopal volunteers, totaling 2,249 pounds will provide 2,924 meals for hungry individuals and families.
As part of its yearlong centennial celebration, St. John’s Episcopal Church held the food drive for Harvest Hope Food Bank on Saturday, March 3 from 10:00 a.m. until 4:00 p.m. at the Piggly Wiggly grocery stores on Forest Drive and Devine Street.
