Everyone has been abuzz about this year’s “10 Days of Giving,” the community-wide annual event sponsored by Merchants Bank, in support of the food shelves at Winona Volunteer Services and the Southeastern Minnesota Rural Education and Resource Center (both United Way partner agencies). It sounds like the drive went well, and many hungry mouths will be fed in the coming months.
Beyond the food shelves, there are many other resources for free (or greatly reduced in price) food in Winona. Almost every day of the week, there is an opportunity to join with others and share a meal. Not only do the meals meet people’s basic nutritional needs, but they also contribute to building a sense of community and feeding the souls of those who come together to break bread.
The meals are also an opportunity to help. Volunteers and donations are always welcome.
