Elks Collects for Food Bank

The Sidney Elks Lodge collected hundreds of pounds of food for the Richland County Food Bank by making non- perishable food items the price of dinner at their last Thursday Night Barbecue. Candy Markwald was very appreciative of the donation. “What they (the Elks) are doing is a blessing,” she said. There is a huge need in this county for non-perishable food items. The food bank had already served as many individuals by the end of September as they had all of last year. Markwald reminds donors to please check the expiration dates on food items. Items should have a shelf life of at least a couple of months since not every item is distributed immediately. Any item that is past the expiration date must be thrown away.
