The Barton County Young Professionals group recently partnered with the Great Bend Rotary Club to host their 4th Annual Charity Supply Drive on Saturday, March 5th. “Our volunteers worked at both Dillon’s stores from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. collecting donations of non-perishable food and household supplies for the Barton County Food Bank,” said Traci Burns, volunteer leader for the BCYP group’s Community Impact team. “We filled two passenger vans provided by Barton Community College, and collected an additional $637 in donations of cash and gift cards.”Thanks to a sponsorship from the Great Bend Rotary Club, the Young Professionals volunteers were able to purchase a live remote radio broadcast with Eagle Radio and donate an additional lump sum, bringing the total raised to $1,000.
