Monetary donations for Goodfellows still being accepted

The Snyder Kiwanis Club collected canned goods for its annual Goodfellows food drive from local schools today and will distribute them at The Coliseum Saturday.
The club received 169 applications from families, totaling 623 people. Last year, the club served 170 families, and 670 people.
Distribution will begin at 8 a.m. Saturday at The Coliseum and will continue until the last vehicle leaves. Club members and volunteers will load the food in vehicles in the loading area between The Coliseum and annex.
In addition to the cans, the food baskets include items like eggs, chickens and potatoes. The club is still seeking and accepting donations to help purchase perishable items.
