The 2015 observance of Food Check-Out was spread out over several weeks, with Morgantown’s event in March, followed by the Charleston and Huntington events in April. More than 65 volunteers met at Kroger stores in all three areas to shop for perishable items, in addition to all of the non-perishables already collected throughout numerous counties across the state. These same volunteers unloaded supplies and helped to stock pantry shelves at each Ronald McDonald House. Donations collected by Farm Bureaus throughout West Virginia enable RM Houses to provide meals for many months to the families of sick children being treated at local hospitals. THANK YOU to Kroger and to all donors and volunteers for your help and support in this effort! 18 West Virginia Farm Bureau News
