Nyssa Scouts were at M&W Markets in Nyssa last weekend collecting food for the Nyssa Community Food Pantry.
The community responded well with 351 pounds of food and $399 donated! Thank you to the Scouts, leaders and parent volunteers for holding this food drive.
Pantry Manager Kathy Oliver stated, “COVID has really changed the food distribution process. We are so thankful for our local donors who donate the things families need. Thank you, Nyssa!”
