Thanks to all the Knights of Columbus members who have participated in the annual Andy Skrobola Memorial Food Drive so far. We had great Knights participation when the food was handed out.
As a result of all our work, 60 local families had a nice Thanksgiving. The Canfield Lions Club and its associated LEOs organization based at Canfield High School, Knights of Columbus Council 11369, the Canfield Rotary Club, Canfield Community Care Net and the Cardinal Joint Fire District combine for this annual Thanksgiving and Christmas effort.
60 large boxes of food were handed out at St. Paul Monastery in Ellsworth Twp. on Nov. 18. Each box contained 40 items from canned goods to boxed food and paper products. 174 people were served.
60 frozen turkeys purchased by the Canfield Lions Club were also given to the families. The Canfield Rotary Club provided 40 coats to needy individuals. Canfield Community Care Net gave gift cards for food and clothing.
Families with children are also being taken to the mall to shop for clothes and toys. This is an effort by the Lions Club and Cardinal Joint Fire District.
Filled food bags can still be dropped off at any of the three Canfield fire stations for a similar Christmas campaign.
