Central Columbia Middle School rocks the food drive
Pictured below are a few Central Columbia Middle School 6th graders whose grade-level efforts were noted for their hard work in collecting the most donations of food and money for the school’s annual food drive. They helped load up the donated items into the box truck that DYCO allowed us to use to save many trips back and forth to the Bloomsburg Food Cupboard. DYCO workers, Food Cupboard director Martha Sheehe, and Mr Chad Heintzelman, CCMS principal, are also included in the photo.

Thank you, Dream Machine Car Club for your generous support from your Club's cruise-in on August 27. Jeff Helsel, Jane, and Allen, your monetary contribution and food donation have already helped many of our friends and neighbors.
