one can make a difference - food drive image

It's back to school time! Help us make a difference for kids in need by helping us gather food items or monetary donations to help support the Spencer Community School Food Bank. We will be collecting items for two weeks at the bank and will then deliver the items to the school on the August 18. We will have a freezer for items that need to be kept frozen (thanks to Audio Video Connection). 

Bring your items to the bank anytime

Mon. - Fri., 8:30 am - 4:30 pm, August 4-17th
