Another Fall Food Drive has Come to a Successful End

The Fall Food Drive was a success thanks to the hard work of Co-Chairs Faith Dickinson and Kelly Whitmer. They were the driving force behind obtaining the volunteers and properties who did all the heavy lifting. With 20 properties collecting non-perishable food items and cash donations, the WPAA was able to provide 100 Turkey Certificates and over 4300 food items to 7 Salvation Army locations.

We kicked off our Food Drive at the WPAA Golf Outing, with the income from The Pennsylvanian's sponsorship, the 50/50 Drawing, the Putting Competition, and the sale of Mulligans we collected $925.00. Along with food donations from our golfer we got a great start, but we did not stop there. During the October Trade Show and Fair Housing seminar anyone who attended and brought a "bag" of food items received an additional ticket for the Grand Prize drawing of an IPad. With and IPad as incentive we filled several boxes with food items.

Numerous residents throughout WPAA properties donated Gift cards and Checks totaling $545.00.

Thanks to the help of our generous WPAA members the food was picked up Thursday, November 18 then sorted and delivered to the 7 Salvation Army locations on Friday, November 19, just in time for Thanksgiving.
