In celebration of their 130th Anniversary, the employees of First National Bank & Trust gathered together a collection approximately 150 sought after favorite recipes from past and present employees and created an Anniversary Cookbook which were sold at each of their seven locations (Main office, Kingsford, North, South, Econo Foods, Iron River or Menominee) for $10 each. The employees raised over $4,500 which will be distributed to food pantries within each community their employees support.
One of the benefactors of this fund raising project is the Trinity United Methodist Food Program (TUMC) which is located at 808 Carpenter Avenue in Kingsford, Michigan. A dedicated group of volunteers have been planning, shopping, preparing the facility, cooking, and serving approximately 120 people every Wednesday night between the hours of 5 and 6 pm for nearly 18 years now. There are no requirements for their meal guests; they serve anyone that wants a meal and companionship.
They are always looking for donations and volunteers. Monetary donations are also welcome and will be used to supplement their food inventory as the weekly Feeding America truck no longer services our area. For more information contact Sally at the church at 906 774-2545 or Cindi at 906 221-1094.
