Norwin-area businesses are collecting donations of food and money to help charitable organizations.
The Kenny Ross Automotive Group is collecting nonperishable food at its Subaru and Mazda dealerships on Route 30 in North Huntingdon, its Ford dealership on Route 30 in Hempfield and its Ford dealership on Library Road, Castle Shannon.
The business plans to distribute 100 boxes of food to families, first-come first-served, from noon until 4 p.m. Dec. 22, at its Aunt Penny’s Value Vehicles along Route 30 in the former Kenny Ross used car lot across from Lenhart’s Service Center.
Kenny Ross locations will continue collecting toys Monday and Tuesday for its annual Toys for Tots drive.
