Hey Erie! Check this out! Danielle Harvey with Coldwell Banker did a food drive in the Morgan Hill neighborhood which resulted in several truckloads of nonperishable food items! Thank you Danielle, her family and the Morgan Hill neighborhood! We are so grateful for these amazing donations!

This past weekend was my 4th annual Morgan Hill food drive! The neighborhood really showed up this year and we were able to get 2 truck loads of food and toiletries over to Erie Food Bank!
