Fill The Truck, Fill The Need

           

Every year, Heritage Chevrolet sponsors a food drive for the benefit of the Tomahawk Emergency Food Pantry and the Town of Nokomis Food Pantry.  2025 was the 29th anniversary of the event.

         

This year, with your help, we raised $13,934 from 286 donors for the benefit of these two food pantries. The credit for this goes to our amazing community that supported this cause once again.  100% of the proceeds goes to the respective food pantries designated by the donors as all prizes, expenses and fees are paid by our sponsors.  In 2025, Forty five (45) local merchants contributed merchandise or gift certificates valued at $6,353.00 to be were used in the drawing. We thank our local merchants for their continuing support of our community, and ask you to support our local merchants that support our local community.

 This year’s drawing was held on WJJQ radio, Northwoods 92.5 FM, on Monday, December 22nd  right after the  2:00PM newscast.  "Fill The Need" is co-sponsored by  Wisconsin Chevy Dealers, Inc., WJJQ Radio, and Heritage Chevrolet, that paid all of the expenses of this event, which allowed 100% of the amounts donated to be turned over to the pantries.

• Donations made through GiveSendGo are charitable contributions and not payments for entry into the drawing.
