The Vintage Truck Show was a huge success, we made $775 from our hotdog stand for our Kids Closet and brought back a van full of food for the Ashland County Food Bank too! We have to thank the Vintage Truck Show organization and the Ashland County Fair for allowing us to set up our hotdog stand again this year and to the Brethren Care Village for donating the hotdogs and water. We also want to thank our wonderful volunteers, Josh, Addison, Fred, Linda and Rick – great job!! And finally to our hungry donors that have shown their support for the little ones in our county! Thank you!

Bob and Rosemarie just unloaded the first truck on the final day of “Caring and Sharing” from Ashland High School’s students and staff. Today was “anything goes” day and boy did we get lots of food and taxable items. What a blessing this program has been for over 15 years. We are so grateful to the youth in our county that are constantly reaching out to help others. Thank you!

Jared Smeltzer just brought the final truck load from Ashland High School’s week long days of “Caring and Sharing”! We can’t thank the students and staff enough for the all the food and taxable items. They have been filling our shelves for over 15 years with this fabulous program.

Thank you!

It’s day 4 and that means “paper products”! Berniece Miller, our Food Bank Coordinator and Bob Quackenbush unloaded another truck load from Ashland HIgh School’s week of “Caring and Sharing”.
