Food Check-Out Week 2013 A Roaring Success Donations and volunteers were both plentiful for the 2013 observance of Food Check-Out Week, February 17-23. Huntington, Charleston and Morgantown events all saw an increase in donations from last year. Final numbers are not yet in, but Women’s Leadership Committee Chair JoEllen Blair expects totals to be well above last year’s record donations. Staff at all three Ronald McDonald Houses were happy to see their pantries well-stocked once again through this annual event. West Virginia Farm Bureau News 19
