"The Cash for Cans drive makes it easy for members to donate when they come into a branch," said Janell Adams, Senior Vice President, Branch Administration. "Were proud that members stepped up again this year and exceeded last years amount. With this years total funds, the food banks can provide more than 330,000 pounds of food to families in need."
