Island Avenue School Food Drive Comes Through For Our Neighbors In Need

Island Avenue School children gather food to benefit the Madison Food Pantry

Island Avenue School held a food drive to benefit the Madison Food Pantry just in time for Easter and Passover.  The kids worked hard not just gathering the food but loading up the van for transport.  They raised 322 pounds of food. What a great job! Many thanks go out to all who were involved. The effort was very much appreciated.

The need is great at the pantry.  If you are considering a food drive please contact Maryann Francischelli at fourfirstnames@sbcglobal.net for information.
