Dayton yard sale nets more than $2,000 for food bank
Freida Carbery of Dayton Food Pantry extended a big thank you to dozens of volunteers, including JPO youths and staff, who organized and ran the May 7 yard sale benefit for the local Dayton Food Pantry, with help from hundreds of people in the region who donated items for the fundraiser, which made $2,173 in one day for the busy pantry at 4 Enterprise Way in Dayton.
The pantry serves hundreds of families in the region each month with boxes of canned and fresh foods and commodities such as beans and peanut butter, and also supplies around 60 backpacks of food each weekend for local school children in need of weekend nutrition.
