Helping ensure good nutrition is there for those in need
Six volunteers helped sort and organize more than two tons of food donated through the Catawba County United Way's June Food Drive. Along with the many individuals who stopped by with bags and boxes of items, several local businesses and churches stepped up in a big way to help, including Design Foundry, Target, Peoples Bank, Publix in Sherrills Ford and the Royal Chapel Church of God.
The food drive benefited the food pantries at The Salvation Army in Hickory, Greater Hickory Cooperative Christian Ministry and Eastern Catawba Cooperative Christian Ministry along with The Corner Table Soup Kitchen and the Hickory Soup Kitchen.
