Joining forces to fight hunger

Members of ASTRA and Key Club, two international community service organizations for youth, joined forces on Saturday to help the Delta Food Pantry unload, weigh, sort, box and restock shelves of the more than 3,000 pounds of non-perishable food items that were collected from Delta residents by local mail carriers during the USPS’s annual food drive known as Stamp Out Hunger. Demand for services from the food pantry have continued to rise among Delta residents so that this food drive is greatly needed, as well as appreciated, by the food pantry. Pictured with food pantry volunteers Linda Olson, Steve Grover and Sandy Dombroski are ASTRA members Courtney Anderson, Kasha Culver, Haley Donathan, Julie Cassel, Lucero Chavez, Shannon Foley, Dustin Ownbey and Kayla Culp along with Key Club members Kaitlyn Suppes, Haley Donathan, Jacob Millard, Grace Kathrein, Chelsea McDonald, Dustin Ownbey and Julie Cassel. The ASTRA Club is sponsored by Altrusa International, and the Key Club is sponsored by Kiwanis Club.
