Project Connect Team is asking for the public’s help to secure donations of bags of groceries, personal care kits, or donations of gift cards or monetary donations for the April drive-through events. Completed bags of nonperishable groceries can be delivered to Peace Lutheran Church, 1021 West Wooster Street, Bowling Green. Drop off times are: Wednesdays from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m., Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., and Sundays from noon to 5 p.m. through March 13.
