Central food drive

Central Food Committee 12-2014

Central Insurance Company held its annual Christmas “Caring Means Sharing” Food Drive the week of December 15-18 with great results. The drive collected 1,380 food and paper items, which were distributed to 11 local churches and charity organizations. Central thanks its employees for their generosity and the Food Drive Committee for coordinating this event. Committee members include (front row, from the left) Linda Schulte, Gayle Harman, Janet Rode, Adam Anspach, and Lorali Todd; (back row) Shonda Vorst, Craig Marks, R.J. Coleman and Craig Bracken.
