Kiwanian Schreurs ran for groceries
Shelves at the United Methodist Church Food Pantry are stocked with $2,000 worth of new donations, thanks to the Richmond Kiwanis Club’s Go for the Groceries event.
Kiwanian Randy Schreurs pulled cans of meat, vegetables and boxes of cereal off the shelves at Harps Grocery Store in Richmond to fill more than four groceries carts with non-perishable food.
He ran on behalf of Jill Pyle, whose raffle ticket was the winner among five semifinalists. Pyle and another semi-finalist, Eddie Sartain, both wanted any groceries gathered on their behalf to be donated to the food pantry. Schreurs volunteered to run for either of them.
Two additional semi-final tickets directly named the food pantry as the beneficiary, so the pantry also received an additional $75 in gift certificates from the runnersup. Church member Amanda Garland was prepared to run if either of those tickets won. The fifth semi-finalist was Deb Jones, a Kiwanian from Liberty, who was also a semi-finalist last year.
