The Foodbank Inc. assisted with storing and sorting the donations ahead of distribution due to limited space caused by ongoing improvements at the Boys & Girls Club of Dayton’s facility.
The collaboration between the RTA, ATU Local 1385, and the Boys & Girls Club of Dayton demonstrates a strong community effort to support local youth and their educational needs.
