Connells Maple Lee Stems Hunger, which benefits the Mid-Ohio Foodbank, will return for its second year June 21-29.
Last year’s inaugural event collected 83 pounds of non-perishable food items.
Customers receive a free carnation for each non-perishable food item they donate, up to a maximum of six carnations per family per visit.
Food collection boxes are placed in each of Connells Maple Lee’s stores in Bexley, Grove City and Powell during the event.
In conjunction with Connells Maple Lee Stems Hunger, the Connells Maple Lee Kids Club will host an event for children ages 5 to 12 in all of our stores on June 22.
