Women of WI Football Food Drive a Success

Group collected hundreds of non-perishable items to be donated to local food pantries.

For the past few home varsity football games, the have been setting up a bin and taking up a non-perishable food collection to benefit local pantries.

Each week, they've received dozens of cans from residents either watching the game or just stopping by to drop some food off. 

Their latest Facebook update shows the impact the drive had:

"Another successful food drive today at the game. I wish the results of the game were better but our boys did a great job. Special thanks to Diane Fontana and Joan DeRosa for "manning the can."

You can thank all these POS politicians for the new gun legislation designed to make law abidingRead More citizens give up their second amendment rights out of sheer frustration and incontinence of owning a gun legally for increases in savage on citizen violence. This is only the beginning and in short time many New Yorker's will be forced to remain in their homes fearing one of these animals will make them their pray. I for one believe in the old adage, it's better to be judged by 12 than carried by 6.

I think Proposition 2 is a great idea, in the current structure you have to "call out" anRead More individual basically saying "I think you are doing a particularly bad job". Politics get dirty enough as is and I think this will increase participation and ultimately give us a better Board of Education.
