Gary’s Foods handed the money raised from the round-up in November to Southeast Linn Community Center’s (SELCC) food pantry. More than $5,600 was raised by round-ups at the grocery store during the month, with Gary’s contributing the additional donation.
SELCC director Nicole McAlexander said that the donation is huge for the pantry to meet the needs of the community.
“We’re so grateful to have a supportive community who helps us out,” McAlexander said.
Garret Dietrich said it is one of the easiest asks for round-ups at the store for cashiers, as many people are happy to round-up for the cause.
