From now until July 31, Menards Big Rapids location will host a food drive to support Manna Pantry.
Nonperishable boxed, canned, and unbroken sealed items will be accepted. Popular items most needed include peanut butter, jelly, canned fruits, and canned vegetables. Other items include bags of coffee grounds, canned tuna, cans of beans, and boxed crackers.
According to Menards General Manager Brenda Linn, the idea for the drive and partnering with Manna Pantry came internally.
"Our front-end manager, Mindy Farrington, frequently donates time and resources to local charities and has worked with Manna Pantry in the past," Linn said. "Mindy immediately thought of them when the opportunity arose to focus on them for our food drive."
To donate, participants can find a drop box near the entrance and exit doors of the building.
