The Geary County Food Pantry is holding a kickoff party this Saturday, October 14th at 9:30 a.m. at the corner of Seventh and Clay. This location is the future site of the Geary County Food Pantry.
The Kickoff Party will feature several activities, including a bean bag toss, a car show, a pumpkin carving contest, and more. A food truck will also be on site.
For the pumpkin carving contest, bring the pumpkin already carved and decorated for a chance to win a basket of surprises. Attendees will have an opportunity to vote for the best pumpkins by purchasing coupons and then placing the coupon in their chosen jar.
Ellen Westerhaus and Buck Gibson are board members of the Geary County Food Pantry and both very excited for the kickoff party as well as the new site of the food pantry.
"Anybody and everybody, please come. We love to see the people we serve," Ellen Westerhaus said.
"This is an opportunity to come out and have a great morning and support a great cause," Buck Gibson said.
Donations will be accepted all morning and all the proceeds will go towards the Geary County Food Pantry.
