(KNZA)--On November 14, Highland Community College employees donated enough food to provide 16 families in need from Doniphan County with a Thanksgiving meal.
According to a news release from the college, the effort was spearheaded on campus by a group of employees called The Hamper Committee. The group includes Theresa Grossman, Laura Young, Margy Heddens, Shelley Smith, Pamela Fulbright, Sam Perkins, and Amy Foley.
Grossman, a speech instructor at Highland, noted the project could not have happened without the tremendous generosity of the college’s employees.
The committee coordinated the effort with a larger project by the Doniphan County Council on Aging and Transportation, and for delivery of the meals and pies.
The pies were provided by Hiawatha Wal-Mart and State Farm of Hiawatha.
