While many organizations put out boxes when they solicit donations for food, toiletries, and toys, one Sturgeon Bay business is going big to support a local pantry. Centerpointe Yacht Services in Sturgeon Bay launched its Stuff the Boat campaign earlier this month to benefit the work at Lakeshore CAP Food Pantry. The donations most needed include canned meat, canned vegetables, canned fruit, rice, flour, sugar, soup, peanut butter, jelly, toothpaste, shaving cream, razors, shampoo, and other hygienic products. General Manager Peter Kordon says after meeting with the volunteers at the Lakeshore CAP Food Pantry, they decided to do something a little outside the normal to inspire the community to give back.

Potential donors can swing by Centerpoint Yacht Services’ location along State Highway 42/57 to drop off their non-perishable food items or monetary donations during business hours. It is one of the many ways local businesses are supporting local causes this holiday season. Volunteers for Door County Toys for Kids and Kewaunee County Toys for Tots have spent this week distributing boxes to collect donations.
