(Focus on Marshfield) -It’s Christmas in July for area food pantries. Thursday morning, Rotary Winter Wonderland presented checks from the proceeds of its 13th season.Two $15,000 checks were presented to Soup or Socks and St. Vincent de Paul Outreach, plus $5,000 for the Marshfield Area United Way Nutrition on Weekends program. The total payout was $40,000 to 28 area pantries. Since there are no large food drives planned for fall, the donation will help the pantry through the next few months. The most needed donations are currently jelly, canned and boxed potatoes, saltines, and oatmeal. Groups interested in promoting Hunger Action Month in September are welcome to contact Soup or Socks.
Rotary Winter Wonderland’s 13th season was the most successful in its history, breaking the record for the most cash and food donations than any previous year, raising $78,000. The amount allowed the project to pay extra expenses this year while maintaining the amount of the its annual donations.
