The United Presbyterian Church is holding a food drive called Battle of the Veggies 2024 as part of their food boxing efforts for HACAP. KCII spoke with Pastor Erin Kaye to learn more about the effort, “Our goal is five hundred cans of veggies, but we specifically sort of to make it more fun, we decided that there would be a battle between corn, green beans, creamed corn and carrots. But we do have some rogue veggies that have shown up. So we really, we actually will take anything, cause the goal is just five hundred cans of veggies.” The battle of the veggies is open to all community members who would like to donate items. They will have a food boxing day on November 24th.
