New! I-70 Community Hospital Donates to Food Pantry

The staff of I-70 Community Hospital was able to experience the true meaning of Christmas this year, by donating 533 pounds of food to the Sweet Springs Food Pantry.  The tough economic times has caused a drastic rise in people that need assistance this year giving I-70 Community Hospital the perfect excuse for participating in the community food drive. The experience warmed our hearts and increased our determination to keep the project going year round. Ralph Koch, Plant Manager at I-70 Community Hospital spoke with Bill Meyer, Sweet Springs Food Pantry Manager to get suggestions for items most needed by the Food Pantry.  Bill stated that canned food is always needed, most especially canned fruit.  Cash donations are also welcomed, since The food pantry does not receive any assistance with rent or utilities. 

I-70 Community Hospital would like to thank everyone that participated in such a wonderful and fulfilling project.  There are several families that will be experiencing a true Christmas this year because of your kind donations. And for anyone who still wishes to donate we have a box setup in the hospital cafeteria to receive donations year round.
