Highland Lakes Food Drive Delivers Big Results For Local Families
The annual Picayune–KBEY effort collected thousands of pounds of food and nearly $5,000 in donations.
The Highland Lakes community came through for neighbors in need during the annual Picayune–KBEY Food Drive. Organizers reported thousands of pounds of nonperishable food and nearly $5,000 in monetary contributions from the November 4 event.
The drive brought together residents, businesses, volunteers and school communities from across the area. The donations support local food assistance at a time when household budgets and holiday expenses can put extra pressure on families.
For anyone who missed the event, local food pantries and charitable organizations often accept contributions throughout the year. Contact the organization you want to support to confirm its current needs and donation arrangements.
Results were reported November 5 and remain a significant local community story as the new week begins.
