“Can Test” is coming
ST. IGNATIUS — What is a “Can Test” you ask? Well, it’s a great fundraiser for the food pantries in Ronan and St. Ignatius. It is a canned food contest.
Get your family and friends together and start collecting cans of food and then come up with a unique sculpture you can construct on-site with your cans.
Bring your cans to the Mission Valley United Methodist church on June 8 to compete for prizes and have a lot of fun while also providing a needed service for our valley food pantries.
Last year we collected 1,000 cans of food. Let’s see if we can top that this year.
For more information, call (406) 644-0122 or (406) 274-5132.
