He issued the following news release:
“I am pleased to announce that my business has received and donated over 200 individual food items directly to the food pantry, and as a result of policy sales in the month of July, a donation of $555 will be made to FoodShare, for the benefit ofHVCC.”
Adam went on to say, “These food items and this donation will help to make sure that our most needy residents will have access to the food they need for themselves and their families” “I know some local businesses also have events planned for HVCC, and I encourage residents and businesses alike to support to help out in any way they can,” Adam said.
