(Spencer)– For the first time in several years, the Spencer Upper Des Moines Opportunity center is asking for the public’s help.
With the holidays right around the corner, officials with the U-D-M-O food shelf in Spencer are concerned…their cupboards are nearly bare. Program Assistant Georgia Crew sites several factors, including a food drive that wound up being canceled; demand for the pantry has been up; and donations of food during Spirit Day at the Clay County Fair were down.
As a result, Crew says they’re putting out a plea for donations. They can be dropped off at the Spencer U-D-M-O office at 407 East 3rd Street.
