A little scrap goes a long way in helping families in need of food

In October, the K-M Lions Club held its annual scrap metal drive.
The annual event is a way to fundraise money for a local Dodge County cause as a way to help out the community.
This year the Lions raised $1,600 for the Dodge County Food Shelf and recently that check was presented by the local Lions Club to Audrey Irwin, director of the Food Shelf.
According to the Lions Club, over the years it has raised $8,500 for the food shelf through the scrap metal drive.
Aside from money being collected for the food shelf every year, the Lions Club said that it has collected over 500 bikes through the drives over the years which have been repaired by different volunteers and donated to children in need throughout the community.
It was also pointed out that the project is a good help for the community because it’s a way for people to get rid of items that they no longer want or needed and help raise money for a good local cause at the same time.
