(KWNO)- Winona Volunteer Services will hold its first food drop of 2021 on Friday.
Executive Director Sandra Burke says the food drop will begin at 10 a.m. at the Fastenal Customer Experience Center near the intersection of Highway 61 and Pelzer St. Volunteers will direct traffic to line up along the Highway 61 frontage road facing east then exit the parking lot south on Pelzer St.
Volunteers will place up to 1,200 boxes of food in participating vehicles. The food is provided by a USDA program that buys excess food from farmers.
It’s the seventh food drop Volunteer Services has held since the start of the pandemic. Burke estimates they’ve distributed 14,000 meals through the events.

Congratulations, Jenna Price, for your article about alcohol being weaponised in sexual assaults (“Rapists are weaponising alcohol”, February 23). During my teaching career, I have been a chaperone teacher at many Year 12 formals. A number of times I have volunteered to drive young women home who were too intoxicated to stand, let alone protect themselves.
Comparing apples with oranges is usually unhelpful. However, would you expect to emerge unhurt from racing across a busy freeway or jumping into a lion’s den? In an ideal world, young people don’t engage in underage drinking, adults drink moderately, they don’t mix intoxicating substances and all men are respectful of others. As our ideal world is unattainable, people of all ages must heed the advice not to put themselves in

Why won t the PM condemn the absurd assertions of Craig Kelly MP and others about coronavirus remedies, as the Chief Medical Officer has done ( MP s COVID-19 posts get medical rebuke , January 14)? It s as former PM John Howard said about one of his opponents: he doesn t have the ticker .

I d love to see Kelly and George Christensen dispatched on an overseas Parliamentary fact-finding mission to the UK or USA. There, they could check hospitals to confirm that the vast numbers being treated for COVID are real, and not a hoax . They could also inspect the refrigeration trucks that are being used as temporary morgues. They could travel without masks and vaccines, using hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin to protect themselves.

HARRISBURG â In the weeks before the general election, Sara May-Silfeeâs office was overwhelmed. Phone calls from voters were incessant. Lines of people formed outside the building to apply for and cast mail ballots. In one instance, she said, impatient voters began chants outside her office that the waiting times amounted to voter suppression.
The Monroe County elections director even got in the habit of closing her officeâs shades at night, she said, because voters would knock on the windows, as late as 9, looking for assistance.
