Prattville Dragoons SCV Camp 1524 Holiday Canned Food Drive

The Dragoons completed their annual canned food drive on Tuesday November 27, 2018, delivering all the accumulated canned and dry goods to the Autauga Interfaith Care Center in downtown Prattville.  Adjutant Wayne Sutherland stored all the food which had been donated by members over the last two months at camp meetings and which totaled over 550 pounds.  Commander Waldo and 2nd Lt Karl Wade picked up the food from Wayne to take it down and deliver it to the care center.  The food filled the bed of the truck.  It took three carts to load up and wheel into the building where volunteers immediately started dating the cans and putting them on shelves in the pantry.  Josette Dudle who is a ministry assistant at the AICC and in charge of the volunteers greeted Stuart and Karl and provided a tour of the pantry and a run down on the way the center screens recipients and the services AICC provides including food, clothing and even bill pay assistance.  Josette has been very much involved in the Autauga County Heritage Association in Prattville in which some members of the Dragoons also volunteer so common friends were readily identified.  Josette expressed much appreciation for the donation, another worthwhile community service project of Camp 1524.
