An annual event that started ten years ago as a way to build a new pantry building in Algoma is being celebrated again this week. The Kewaunee County Food Pantry’s Spring Rummage Sale mission to help impoverished residents is planned for Thursday and Friday. Food pantry members also volunteer their time, with all rummage sale profits going towards purchasing food and other expenses. Kewaunee County Food Pantry President Ken Marquardt says the pantry serves up to 145 families by distributing over 12,000 pounds of food monthly.
The Kewaunee County Food Pantry Spring Rummage Sale runs from 8 a.m. until 5 p.m. both days. The pantry is open Mondays and Wednesdays from 11 a.m. until 1 p.m. at 1528 Sunset Avenue.
