Cardwell Store hosting holiday food drive

The Cardwell Store and Moose Crossing Sweets & Gifts are giving back to the local community with an ongoing food drive.

The drive conducted by the store located at 770 MT HWY 2 started November 1 and will run until December 1.

Those who donate at least three non-perishable items, canned vegetables and soups are needed most, will receive $.50 off a drink from Moose Crossing.

The drive was organized by Lilly Center who works at both businesses.

Center discussed the importance of the drive and said this is a great time of year to give back and help out the community.

"If you have the opportunity to do something, you should, especially around the holidays," she said.
