In a heartwarming initiative, the De Pere VFW Post 2113 is organizing a food collection event to bolster smaller food pantries located in the Wrightstown region. This endeavor seeks to provide essential support to communities that often receive fewer contributions compared to larger urban areas. The drive focuses on gathering non-perishable items and operates throughout an entire day at a convenient location.

A Day of Giving: Supporting Neighbors in Need

On a crisp autumn morning, residents of De Pere and surrounding areas will gather for a meaningful cause. From dawn till dusk, the Kwik Trip store on O’Keefe Road becomes a hub of generosity as volunteers collect donations. Starting promptly at nine in the morning and continuing until six in the evening, this event invites everyone to contribute what they can. Every canned good or boxed meal collected plays a crucial role in ensuring families in less populous regions have access to reliable food sources.

This effort underscores the importance of community spirit and shared responsibility. It highlights how even small actions, like donating a few cans of soup, can collectively make a significant difference in people's lives. As participants leave their contributions, they carry with them the satisfaction of knowing they've helped bridge a critical gap in local resources. Such initiatives remind us all of the power of unity and compassion in fostering stronger, more resilient neighborhoods.
