Lenexa’s annual food drive collects goods for local families

Every year, the city of Lenexa makes it a priority to host a food drive for the Johnson County Multi-Service Center and collect food and goods for people in Johnson County who need an extra hand.

“Every year, around this time, we have a food drive that benefits our local multi-services facilities which, in essence, is a place for those Johnson County residents that are having trouble making ends meet,” said Dana Stauch, senior accountant and member of the We Care Committee, which is coordinating the food drive.

The food drive began May 1 and runs through the end of the month. Stauch said May is a good time for the food drive because it helps families who need help providing meals for children during the summer break.
