Supporting the community! As highlighted in Pat Soderlinds recent Chamber presentation, food drives are vital for helping support the food bank. Area first responders recently held two successful food drives, raising over $2,100 and collecting a generous amount of non-perishable food donations. Pictured here are just a few of the dedicated participants. Special thanks to Bruce Paul and Forks Outfitters for hosting and providing the space to make it all possible. Submitted photo
