Women’s Club and Volunteer DE 50+ hold food drive

The GFWC Women’s Club of Indian River and the Volunteer Delaware 50+ advisory council held a food drive Sept. 28 at the Giant Food grocery store in Millsboro.

Mindy Goss, board president, Volunteer Delaware 50+ Advisory Council, said, “The generosity of the people in Long Neck will help ensure hundreds of people don’t go hungry. Thank you to all who volunteered and donated items.”
