A partnership, led by Michelle Kruse and including the Center Education Foundation, Harvesters, LINC, and the Center School District, provides a monthly food pickup for members of our community. Statistics for calendar year 2022 - 1,908 families served (over 7,300 individuals), 118,119 pounds of food distributed, and 98,432 meals created.
Sometimes weather, late deliveries, and other factors made it hard to pull off, but thanks to the efforts of a bunch of dedicated Yellowjackets, it means the world to families in our community.
We are Center Yellowjackets and we do hard things - together!
