MARIETTA The Mid-Ohio Valley came together to help Comfort Keepers of Mid-Ohio Valley collect 4,697 pounds of food through the Feed Seniors Now food drive for local seniors.
Feed Seniors Now is a national initiative of Comfort Keepers and runs Oct. 1 to Dec. 31. The local Comfort Keepers franchise has sponsored the food drive in the MOV since 2008.
This year, due to COVID-19, the members of the local Comfort Keepers team needed to think outside the box on how to increase access to food among the area’s seniors. They decided, in addition to the iconic red barrels at partner locations, they would offer drop ship options directly to the office and accept monetary donations.
