Seventh Annual IGA Food Pantry Round up
•October 10, 2018•
It’s Round up time at Sullivan IGA from Oct. 28 to Nov. 3 giving every customer a chance to help buy turkeys for Moultrie County Food Pantry’s Thanksgiving.
“We are kicking off the seventh annual round up to go along with our four day meat sale from the 31st through Nov. 3,” IGA manager Pat Stinson said, emphasizing customers can take advantage of great meat savings and help a good cause as well.
During that week customers at Sullivan IGA may round up their grocery bill to the next dollar which goes toward purchasing Thanksgiving turkeys for the Moultrie County Food Pantry.
Those round up donations totaled $1200 last year and supplied 125 families with turkeys.
“We really appreciate the generosity of IGA customers helping supply turkeys to the food pantry for Thanksgiving,” Stinson said.
“The food pantry gives out Thanksgiving meals in November, and we count on the money raised from the Round Up to purchase the turkeys each year,” CEFS Food Pantry Coordinator Kristy Dawson said.
