The Broad Ripple Kiwanis members successfully completed a food drive by collecting over 315 non-perishable food items for the Crooked Creek Food Pantry. The following members participated in the project which will help serve households in Marion County (Alison Stilwell, Chris Carlson, Judy Canada, Donna Laird, Annmarie Robertson, Jenny Moehring, Terri Gill, Bobby Rubenstein, Margi Higgs, Fran Fickle, Susie Neal, Jeanne Blake and Ginger Fontan.)

The Pantry is always in need and provided a list of suggested items: peanut butter (regular size/smooth), canned tuna and chicken, grape/strawberry jelly, canned veggies (corn, green beans and diced tomatoes are the most popular) canned fruit (peaches, applesauce and pineapple are the most popular), boxed cereals (kid friendly). The pantry operators state that there is no need to donate extra-large sizes of the items.
