The community came out in full force on Saturday afternoon, donating thousands of dollars in gift cards and other items during an event hosted by Academy Injury & Health Center, 2808 Southampton Road.

People were invited to donate supermarket gift cards, food, cash and baby and personal care products for the needy. In exchange, they were given a protective mask. DJ Bobby Sacco held a drive-up-and-donate dance party.

In all, more than $20,000 was donated, helping to feed 55 needy families in the area. Leftover food was donated to a local food bank. ••
