Look at this!! A 15,000-Watt Generator!!

An anonymous donor contacted the Red Cross and through their assistance, the Caldwell County COAD, in partnership with the CERT Team and the Caldwell County Food Pantry, has received a generous donation of a 15,000-watt generator.

This partnership of organizations, working under the umbrella of the Caldwell County Foundation, will use the generator to help power the Caldwell County Food Pantry’s refrigeration units during power outages. The generator will also be available to the CERT Team during emergency response situations.

We are grateful for this donation and for the continued partnerships that help strengthen emergency preparedness and support our community.

A big “Thank you” to these remarkable students! Who knew 8th graders could be so generous? 😉

Mrs. Wilkerson's 8th grade Advisement Classes (shown below) collected $106.00 to support our Caldwell county neighbors in need, proving kids can be kind and funny, and willing to help others!

If you’re their parent, grandparent or one of their friends, please give them a hug, (if they will let you!☺️) and thank them for us! Or just hit the “like” button to show that you’re proud of them!

There are some wonderful students AND teachers in our community! Thank you, Mrs. Wilkerson, for your part in this fundraiser!

On Friday, November 7th, Bank Northwest partnered with the Caldwell County Food Pantry in sorting donations and packaging meals to be given to those in need. This has been an honor and a privilege for all involved, and we couldn't be prouder of the result. We're grateful for the opportunity to give back and make a positive impact, and we look forward to continuing our partnership with the Caldwell County Food Pantry in the future!

We would like to take a moment to personally thank Ed, Ken, Bud, as well as Dakota and her family for their work at the Food Pantry and for going above and beyond in getting the people and resources together to make this all possible. Without their invaluable work there would be far more hungry people in our community, so, from the bottom of all of our hearts, thank you.

Above all else, remember, we are in this together.
