Thanks to everyone who supported the ninth annual 13 Food for Families event. So far, we have collected over 305,000 pounds of greatly needed food supplies! The collected items will be distributed to pantries in the TV 13 viewing area in July. Special thanks to our partners: WZZM, Spartan Stores and Two Men and a Truck. Also, to generous vendors who made significant donations and to many Spartan Store shoppers who contributed at store locations. Together, we have made a significant contribution to fighting hunger in our community! Check out this video from WZZM for an update.
