MORRISON – More than 500 pounds of items were donated to the Morrison Food Pantry on March 13.

Resthave Care & Rehabilitation, Homestead of Morrison and Morrison Community Hospital joined forces for a friendly competition to gather items for the Morrison Food Pantry, according to a news release.

The pantry was running low on personal care items, so that was a big focus of what was donated; however, there were a lot of food items donated from the group as well.

“We are blessed to have such a great community backing us,” said Laveda Ashlin, president of the food pantry.
