For the eighth year in-a-row, the Kewaunee County Public Health and Human Services Departments are organizing a holiday donation program for local pantries in memory of one of their own. The “Giving for Sara Food and Hygiene Drive” will be held during the month of December. Health Officer Cindy Kinnard says the yearly efforts are a tribute to Sara Malay who passed away unexpectedly in 2013 while serving as the Aging Services Unit Director in Kewaunee County. Due to COVID-19, mailed monetary donations are highly encouraged in place of in-person donations however drop-offs will still be accepted at the Kewaunee County Public Health and Human Services.
Suggested items to donate include canned chicken or tuna, canned fruit, cereal or granola bars, as well as hygiene products like shampoo, diapers, baby wipes, and deodorants. The “Giving for Sara Food and Hygiene Drive” runs from December 1st through December 31st. You can find more information about the donation drive here.
