ECHS Panther Band donates
to Morrisett Center Food Pantry

By METINA MILLER
The Elwood Community School Corporation’s Panther Band recently donated 254 pounds of pasta to the Morrisett Center’s Food Pantry. ECSC Band Director, Paula Simmons said, “The community is always very supportive to our band program and this is our way of giving back to our community.” Simmons encouraged the pasta donation by declaring a contest between sections of the band to see who could raise the most. “I have no idea who won yet, but they had fun with the fundraiser,” Simmons said.
According to Simmons, this will not be the end of the band’s contributions to the local food pantry. In the near future members of the band will be collecting paper items and essentials people need that are not covered by any government assisted programs.
The Morrisett Center recently relocated to 208 South Anderson Street. The food pantry is open on Mondays from 6 to 7:30 p.m., and Wednesday and Thursdays from 10 a.m. to noon. For additional information contact the Morrisett Center at 552-5570.
