Throughout February, Christ the Redeemer’s Knights of Columbus is holding a food drive to benefit the RIC-Rack food bank in Dawsonville, and organizers say the effort has so far raised over 1,000 pounds of food and nearly $3,000.
Marv Englert, a member of the Knights of Columbus and organizer of the food drive, said his organization has been busy making deliveries.
“I’ve delivered about 600 pounds of food so far, and we have another 500 to deliver tomorrow,” Englert said. “And we’ve collected but not delivered almost $3,000 in checks. We collect it and then write one big check to them.”
