Fifty-Five Turkeys Donated At Turkey Drop

Belleville Middle School and High School staff and Middle School and High School students once again assisted with the 5th Annual Turkey Drop on Friday night to collect Thanksgiving food items for the Belleville Food Pantry.
The event was in honor and memory of Pastor Heide Hackman, a dedicated supporter of the event.
Thank you to those who made generous donations, Middle School staff Bob Gentilli and Theresa Schultz for organizing this event, the Middle School and High School students who helped, along with parents, Jenny DeLorme, Doris Diaz, Julie Uebelacker, Julie Sutter-Blair, Todd Hackman, Debbie Knoebl, Michelle Gratz, Betty Wolff, Doug Brown and Doug and Marian Viney, and Bob and Bev Flanagan, who volunteer at the Belleville Food Pantry.
On Friday night, almost $700.00 was collected along with at least 55 turkeys, 81 boxes of potatoes, 63 jars of gravy, eight boxes of stuffing, and a variety of other food items and toiletries.
You can still donate items at Burreson's Foods or the Belleville High School office. Monetary donations also are graciously accepted and will support the food pantry through the holidays.
Checks can be made payable to Belleville High School and sent to 635 W. Church Street, Belleville, WI 53508. Please write 'Turkey Drop' in the memo.
