This year’s newly named Vantage Day of Caring is set for Friday, September 30, 2022, and will be held at Vantage Career Center. Many of our local schools will be accepting donations, so be sure to check with your students to see if their class is competing to bring in the most donations. The public will also be able to donate anytime until Friday, Sept 30th when the barrels are picked up and sorted at the event. Take non-perishable food items like canned meat, peanut butter and mac & cheese to any of the barrels located at First Bank of Berne, First Financial Bank (Shannon St.), Flagstar Bank, Citizens National Bank, the Well Nutrition, or the United Way Office (136 E. Main St.).
We will also be having our “Stuff the Truck” event at Walmart and Chief Supermarket on Saturday, September 17th from 10am – 4pm, and Sunday, September 18th from 12-4pm. There, we will be collecting top-needed pantry items from customers at the entrance doors with assistance provided by local emergency responders and Vantage students.
On Saturday, October 1st, there will be a Mobile Food Pantry distribution at Trinity Friends Church from 9 am – 11 am. Food will be provided by West Ohio Food Bank and distributed by volunteers from Danfoss (formerly Eaton). Participants will be asked to show a valid photo I.D.
