Can Can Fun in the Sun Food Drive!

Covenant Community Outreach and KLBK-TV helped us host our 7th Annual Can Can Fun in the Sun Food Drive last week, capped off with the Too Hot to Run in the Sun Non-Run.

The Covenant Crew helped us raise around fifty-seven thousand pounds of food! KLBK followed us from parking lot to parking lot as our volunteers set up shop at three two United Stores, Market Street, Wal-Mart, and K-Mart. Bodyworks brought their rock climbing wall out for people who donated cans to the drive. I noticed that mostly a younger crowd took advantage of their offer. After the climb, Keva Juice volunteers were handing out healthy smoothes to rock climbers and others who were supporting the drive.

A large crowd was not on hand for our non-run. But on the other hand, a bunch of folks sent in donations to stay at home Saturday and support the South Plains Food Bank by enjoying a lazy morning...
