The Leadership Manhattan group continues to work to help the community.
Sharla Meisenheimer, Manhattan Area Chamber of Commerce Director of Membership, says the Leadership Class is holding two big events this year, one of which is a food drive that is happening right now. Meisenheimer says the event runs from now until March 31st and the foods collected will go to the Manhattan Emergency Shelter. She tells KMAN more about what types of items are needed.
“Pillows, coffee, bottled-water, non-perishable food items, trash bags, common medication- things like Tylenol or Advil or things of that nature, copy paper, paper towels, all those types of things,” Meisenheimer says.
Meisenheimer says there are four different drop-off locations for the food drive including the Riley County Police Department, Kansas State Office Park on 1880 Kimball Avenue, G. Thomas Jewelers on Poyntz Avenue, and Midwest Dream Car Collection.
