Generosity and volunteerism displayed in fundraiser

The Ottawa Area Chamber Of Commerce and American Legion Post 63 would like to thank and congratulate everyone who helped make the recent Ottawa Food Pantry Fundraiser and Ohio Village Muffin’s visit a success.

Congratulations to the Tawa Town Gents, Glandorf St Johns Parish, Kalida St Michael Holy Name Society and Parish, Ottawa Presbyterian Church Parish, Ottawa Legion Baseball players and parents, New Creation Lutheran Youth Group, Putnam County YMCA youth, Sts. Peter & Paul Parish, Trinity United Methodist Youth Group, VFW Post 9142, The Village Idiots Band, Village of Ottawa, The 175th Anniversary Steering Committee, 106.3 FM The Fox, The Putnam County Sentinel, Putnam Voice, and ZSportslive.com.

We salute all the local organizations and businesses who donated prizes, and all of the individuals who bought or sold tickets! Thanks to your efforts and support over $3600.00 was raised for our local Ottawa Area Food Pantry.

When it comes to charity, Americans have historically been the most generous people in the world. This is one of many things that have always distinguished us. It is our American heritage.

We urge everyone to continue supporting the Ottawa Food Pantry.
