Pahrump Kiwanis Food for Thought Food Drive

Lerner and Rowe Gives Back August 11, 2014

Lerner and Rowe Injury Attorneys has partnered with Pahrump Kiwanis Food for Thought by hosting a raffle drawing in conjunction with a food drive to encourage more people to donate non-perishable food items to support the organizations educational program.

Once our local staff members found out about the program and their needs, they had to get involved and figure out a way to give back. What they came up with was the raffle drawing to run in conjunction with the food drive.

The raffle drawing/food drive is a win-win solution that will be used to help increase donations and awareness about the needs of the Pahrump Kiwanis Food for Thought educational program.
