Stock The Box Food Drive 2025 – great success!
To the editor:
Our community came together — the Food Pantry thanks you!
This year’s Centennial Bank food drive was a true community success, exceeding all expectations. Together, we collected 1,500 pounds of food-500 pounds more than last year. These generous donations will help keep fellow Pine Island families fed and cared for in the months ahead.
A very special thank you to Elsie Stearns and the wonderful team at Centennial Bank for leading the effort. Elsie, along with assistant manager Kim Essley and team members Kaitlyn Thompson and Beth Felerabed worked tirelessly to make sure every last donation was gathered up and delivered to the food pantry.
To everyone who gave and everyone who helped-we are so grateful. Your kindness and generosity continue to make Pine Island a place where neighbors care for neighbors.
