2024 Jolly Trolley Food Drive results
The Jolly Trolley battled tough weather conditions but drove to another tremendously successful year collecting monetary and food donations! Thanks to the generosity of countless individuals nightly at area grocery stores and large donations from our food drive partners, Catholic Charities Emergency Services, Promise Neighborhood of Central MN and St. Cloud Area Salvation Army received several thousand pounds of non-perishable food and will be able to purchase much-needed supplies this holiday season.
Collection totals this year were $1,851 and 9,766 pounds of non-perishables. Over the last 14 years, the Jolly Trolley Food Drive has distributed almost 39 tons of non-perishables and over $36,000!
