It was a busy night at the Cleveland Foodbank. It is a continued tradition for the Fortney & Weygandt Team to volunteer to give back to the local community. We weren't the only ones so giving though. 

"It was pretty incredible to get hugged by a couple of folks that were so thankful for the food and our efforts that they couldn’t resist." - Mitch Lapin, President
