Betty Zembrycki, from Owensboro, Ky., wanted to help her neighbors during the holiday season. The catch was, she wasn t in her hometown of Owensboro. She did not allow that small detail slow her from making an impact where she was. Where she was, was the Madison RV Park at Madison RV and Golf Resort. Zembrycki had an idea of holding a canned food drive among those who were staying at the resort. She contacted Brian Faircloth, president of the resort, who loved the idea and was immediately on board. While Zembrycki began collecting canned goods, Faircloth helped spread the word among those who came out for a round of golf and began collecting canned goods from area golfers. According to Zembrycki, the immediate response was extremely positive. This food drive brought in people from across the nation and even around the world, said Zembrycki. We even had someone from South Africa contribute.
