RONAN — St. Luke Community Healthcare employees recently held a month-long food drive to collect 1,571 pounds of non-perishable food and almost $1,000 to donate to the food banks in Ronan, St. Ignatius, and Polson so they would have essential holiday items on hand going into the holiday season. The four-week interdepartmental competition has become a tradition for the organization and comes at an important time for local families. The drive focuses on holiday-related baking and cooking items, along with favorite holiday sides and snacks.
The top four departments to bring the most items and/or dollars were treated to a pizza party. In addition to the food drive, each department created a donation box for the food. The most creative department was also treated to a pizza party. St. Luke recognizes that food drives are important to local food banks and can help provide food to the thousands of individuals they serve.
“Food security plays an important role in good health,” said St. Luke CEO, Steve Todd. “I’m very proud of our 400 team members for finding yet another way to support their community. The local food pantries provide an invaluable service to their towns and supporting that cause brings out the best in us too.”
