CONWAY — Despite Wednesday’s inclement weather, the community turned out to support Mount Washington Radio and Vaughan Community Service Inc.’s 21st annual Foodless Food Drive. Held from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m., the drive raised $19,300, with donations still coming in, said Jennifer Perkins, administrator of Vaughan Community Service.
That total was significant, but it fell short of last year’s $30,260, which surpassed the first foodless drive’s total of $23,850 in November 2020.
