The Oktoberfest - La Crosse, WI Food Drive Competition winning group was The Trustees with 1439 dollars/food items. They'll receive a $100 Kramer's Bar & Grill gift card.
Donors of $50 or more were entered into their choice of one of our two prize drawings. The winner of the $100 Kramer's Bar & Grill gift card is Karla Stanek. The winner of the Jeep Jamboree trip gift certificate is Wayne Kindschi. Congrats to our winners!

5103 of 5000! We did it!
Our best year ever was 6618 food items/dollars in 2020. How close can we get? We haven't counted any Jeeper food donations.
Over 360 lbs of Adult and Senior Dog and Cat food coming with the help of Hill's Pet Nutrition. My elf Zachary is coming with it right now.
Nice work everyone. Have a great event tomorrow. Maybe next year for us.
One day to goal and SO CLOSE to our fool of 5000 food items/dollars. We need just $99.50!
