The Barton County Young Professionals group is making a concerted effort to improve the communities in Barton County. The growing group, facilitated by the Great Bend Chamber of Commerce, is expanding its outreach projects in 2013. During the month of January, the group will be collecting supplies for the Catholic Social Service non-food pantry. Throughout the month of January, we will be requesting donations of laundry detergent, deodorant, dish soap, toilet paper, paper towels, diapers, formula, and other non-food items for families in need in Central Kansas. Donations can be dropped off at the Chamber office, 1125 Williams, anytime between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. on weekdays through January 31st. The group will also be manning the doors at Wal-Mart on Saturday, January 26th from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. to collect supplies from shoppers.To get involved with this service project or to donate to this worthy cause, contact Chamber Marketing Coordinator Rachel Mawhirter, rmawhirter@greatbend.org or 620-792-2401.
