"Re-stock the Pantry" Canned Food Drive to Benefit Low Income Ministry

First State Bank & Trust Company and Fremont National Bank & Trust Company will be the drop-off locations for a food drive to benefit the Low Income Ministry.  Food can be dropped off between Thursday, February 23^rd  – March 30^th  during business hours of 9 a.m. – 4 p.m. 

Re-stock the Pantry is a community event that encourages citizens to come together and donate food at a time when restocking of the pantry is necessary.  Executive Director Marcella Divis-Michaud stated assistance with rent and utilities are up 25% and food and monetary donations to buy food is needed most.

This project is being spearheaded by five members of the current Leadership Fremont class.  Leadership Fremont, a nine month program, is a series of seminars, tours and networking opportunities designed to enhance community awareness and develop emerging leaders in Fremont.  Participants obtain an in-depth view of emerging community issues, are informed of opportunities for community involvement, and acquire skills training designed for community leaders by community leaders.  Leadership Fremont is presented by First State Bank & Trust Company, sponsored by the Fremont Area Chamber of Commerce and is in its fifth year.
