UW-Whitewater/Community Optimist Club

This month’s Summer on the Mall theme of “Christmas in July” rang in a happy and festive note as the Whitewater Food Pantry received canned goods, as well as monetary donations.   During the event held at the James R. Connor University Center, Marianne Scott of the Whitewater Food Pantry received $286 donated by participants in various event activities.  Additionally, the check for $1,000 was presented from the UW-Whitewater/ Community Optimist Club, which was from the remaining proceeds from the annual “Optimist Trivia Night” in February 2017.  

Thanks to all who donated and participated in both events.  Generous donations will help the Whitewater Food Pantry continue to fulfill its mission during coming months.  Mark your calendars for the 2018 “Optimist Trivia Night,” scheduled for Friday, February 16, 2018.
