“We just thought that this would be a good thing to do for the community and we hope that we get a lot of support from the community. People physically come into the city hall to pay their water bill and their sewer bill and they’ll see this and we hope that people will be generous,” said Houston.
Houston is looking for these items to be brought into the Clerk’s Office at City Hall:
“All kinds of canned vegetables, cereal, canned soup, pastas like macaroni and cheese and ramen noodles. The food pantry was asking for tuna, oatmeal, and those kind of things. So just about anything that’s edible,” said Houston.
