A  community service project organized by the Hays Area Children’s Center is helping the United Way of Ellis County and a member agency, Options Domestic and Sexual Violence Services.

Community Relations Coordinator Kelly O’Brien Koerner says the HACC School Age Program is collecting non-perishable food items this week.

“People who would like to help can bring canned foods to the HACC front entryway at 94 Lewis Drive,  where we have drop-off boxes,” she says.
