Updates on Our Community Winter 2021

Successful Food Drives Keep Us Stocked

Our amazing community has conducted some truly mind blowing food drives lately. Both before and after the holidays, these generous contributors have kept the food flowing at our weekly distributions. THANK YOU!

Synergy Chiropractic's staff and patients hold an annual drive that does a great job of stocking our pantry shelves. This year, their efforts amounted to more of a food mountain than a food drive. Thank you Dr. Ryan Zimmer and crew (pictured left)! The Five Points Elementary School community outdid themselves with their efforts. In addition to a one-day drive during Red Ribbon Week that was highly successful, their annual food drive just before Winter Break was bountiful! Special thanks to Counselor Amy Stumpfl who took a lead role in both efforts (pictured below).

St. Francis Episcopal Church's January food drive produced another astonishing mountain of donations (above). They simply asked their congregation - and the community - to add a few extra items to their grocery carts. It is truly amazing how quickly kindness spreads in Springboro.

Generosity Spans Generations

It's not every day a boy turns 9. And it's not every boy who uses his 9th birthday to collect 301 items for SCAC. Joey Hopkins, pictured at right with his family, did just that for his birthday in January. We are thrilled with your compassion and generosity, Joey! Our partners at Covenant Presbyterian generously provided Thanksgiving food for our neighbors. And, the Cub Scout Pack they sponsor also held a food drive for us. Michelle Huss and her scouts David and Heidi dropped a trunk load of items off back in November. Many, many belated thanks to these great people!

Huge thanks to regular volunteer Harry Hall for donating the cart all the other volunteers are fighting over!

Many, many thanks to the Weaver family who, for the second year in a row, conducted a food drive in their neighborhood. They collected more than 300 items!

We Couldn't Do It Without You!

All types of contributions have made it possible for us to continue to meet record need in our community. We are grateful to all of you!
