(KWNO)-The 36th annual Merchants Bank’s 10 Days of Giving Food Drive runs December 1-10 this year and benefits food shelf programs at Winona Volunteer Services (WVS).
“The annual 10 Days of Giving food drive allows the food shelf to provide the resources our clients and their families need. The food donated by the community enables us to keep up with demand well into the next calendar year,” says Sandra Burke, Executive Director of Winona Volunteer Services.
Last year, the 10 Days of Giving campaign collected 261,127 pounds of food. Monetary donations are also an important part of the drive as WVS can purchase food at a discount to stock its shelves. Monetary donations and checks (payable to 10 Days of Giving) can be mailed or dropped off at the downtown Merchants Bank location. Donations can also be made online at the WVS website.

Since 1989, 10 Days of Giving has collected more than four million pounds of food helping thousands of people.
