VIENNA (WSIL) An area food drive, asking for cans of soup, officially wraps up its collection Thursday, surpassing its ambitious goal of 50,000 cans.
The Fowler Bonan Foundation announced its final tally, at the Miles Brothers Foods temporary location in Vienna, announcing its Together We Can, Soup Challenge, collected more than 53,000 cans.
Representatives from Molina Healthcare presented the Foundation a check for $5,500, which adds to large-purchase orders from locally-owned grocery stores.
State Senator Dale Fowler s (R - Harrisburg) foundation kicked off the challenge in February with a goal of 10,000 cans, but that quickly changed.
