The two major veterans’ organizations in Clarke County, American Legion Post 41 and VFW Post 9760, joined forces to sponsor the Clarke County Food Drive for the month of July. Tom Bundy, a member of both service organizations, was the motivating force behind this project. Collection barrels were located at local churches and the Dollar General Store. The drive concluded with 1,142 pounds of donated food for the FISH Food Bank. The food was used to restock the pantries at the local distribution centers.
The Veterans Food Drive continues to be an annual event. The drive collects about one thousand pounds of food and $700 in donations each year.
