The Gleaners Food Bank in Belleville hasn’t had a food drive like yesterday’s in several years.
Director of Operations at Gleaners, Susanne Quinlan, says 22 skids of food were collected, way above
the group’s goal of 15.
Quinlan says the number of volunteers who got involved this year, with the help of buses from Parkhurst Transportation and the Belleville Transit, helped push the drive beyond it’s goal.
22 skids will ensure a good supply of food right through the spring.
Quinlan says that amount can help them tremendously over the next 6 months.
Close to 300 volunteers were involved in yesterday’s city wide food drive.
