Connells Maple Lee Stems Hunger took place June 16-30. Besides Connells Maple Lee’s three Columbus-area stores, the food drop-off locations included Drayer Physical Therapy Institute’s outpatient centers in Grove City and Hilliard.
Donors received a free carnation for each nonperishable food item they contributed.
In its seven-year history, the food drive has collected more than 1,100 pounds for area food banks.
