Cheers: To Drive & Drop. The annual food drive typically known as Walk & Knock took a different look this year, but still was deemed a success. Instead of having volunteers knock on doors throughout the county, organizers asked for donations to be delivered to drop boxes or drop-off sites a necessity in the age of coronavirus.
Although donations, which go to Clark County Food Bank, declined from previous years, more than 100,000 pounds of food were received. “Even if it was half as much, it’s pleasing to help. I feel good about it,” said Tom Knappenberger, president of Walk & Knock. Of course, donations of food or money always are welcome, and the need is particularly acute this year.
