Jolly Trolley Food Drive Coming to St. Cloud Area Grocery Stores

ST. CLOUD (WJON News) -- After a record-breaking event last year, the Jolly Trolley Food Drive is back again this year.

A number of businesses are teaming up with Metro Bus to collect nonperishable food and cash donations in December.

From December 12th through the 14th, volunteers will be taking donations to benefit Catholic Charities Emergency Services, Promise Neighborhood of Central MN, and the St. Cloud Area Salvation Army.
