Liberty Village Hosting Food Drive This Week

This week (May 13-19) is National Nursing Home Week and one local business is taking the opportunity to host a food drive.

Liberty Village of Clinton is hosting a food drive all this week. Alison Skelton and Helen Michelassi with Liberty Village of Clinton explain they are going to use the donated goods for part of the upcoming Relay For Life and then once they have served their purpose there, they will then donate the canned goods to the local food pantries.

Michelassi explains the canned foods are going to have a two-fold purpose. First, At Relay for Life they will serve as paper weights, if you will, for their Luminaria ceremony. Then they will be passed on to local food banks. Michelassi says it's a win-win for both parties.

Anyone wanting to donate can take their donations to the main entrance at Liberty Village in Clinton.
