Why donate food instead of purchasing tickets?
This is a
not-for-profit event to assist our Johnson County neighbors in need of
food.
In 2008, the 87th Street food pantry was serving approximately
170 families a month. In September of 2009, just one year later, that
number jumped to 453!
Lee Weigel of Lenexa, Ks. helps run The Pantry. He says, "“This is much more personal,” Weigel said. “I have to look people in
the eye and say ‘I’ve got nothing to give you.’ I don’t want to do
that. But, if it was easy it wouldn’t be as rewarding.”
See Lee's story on why he volunteers, here.
