Madison, Wis.

The Madison franchise of TWO MEN AND A TRUCK® recently donated it's services to Community Action Coalition for South Central WI, Inc. to collect food for the less fortunate.  The coalition thanked the franchise for its charitable donation that helped lead to this year's success.

Over the past week food donations have continued to come into various post offices around the city and county as well as results from some of the outlying communities. I think we are now at a point where we can declare a final result for the drive.

Dane County’s 2010 total collection is 198,587 lbs! This equates to 158,870 meals. While this is a bit short of last year’s result of 205,000 lbs. I do not feel the drop is significant and I think we can blame the weather for 3% less food.

Special thanks to Pat Nee and all the carriers from NALC Capitol City Merged Branch 507; the U.S. Postal Service, Ann McNeary from United Way,TWO MEN AND A TRUCK®, Oakleaf Properties, The Post Office Credit Union, and all the wonderful volunteers who came out on May 8 to help us make the drive a success.
