GEARY COUNTY - The Greater Manhattan Community Foundation has introduced a new program for non-profits and charitable causes.
The 'Community Cares Chest' has been created using items that were donated from the 'Feed the Children' organization but have gone beyond the shelf-life for sales, but remain usable.
The Greater Manhattan Community Foundation has received truckloads of items to be distributed throughout the region.
Dustin Thornton, a Commercial Lender with Exchange Bank, is part of the Leadership Manhattan program and reached out to the Director of the Geary County Flint Hills Food Pantry, Debbie Johns, to determine the need within the Geary County community for the personal care and household products.
Some of the items include: personal care items, household cleaning items, books and other miscellaneous items.
Products are available for individuals in Geary County at the Geary County Food Pantry.
