MASON CITY — North Iowa Builders Exchange, with special assistance from Zilges Appliance Center, recently purchased a 22-cubic foot freezer and a refrigerator and donated them to the Hawkeye Harvest Food Bank.

The North Iowa Builders Exchange hosts an annual Christmas Social to raise funds to support selected local causes or organizations.

“Hawkeye Harvest Food Bank does a great job serving our area,” said Brandon Kellar president for the Builders Exchange. “Members of the Builders Exchange saw what the Food Bank does and learned about its needs, when we helped construct the Frank Lloyd Wright Hotel food sculpture, last spring. Once we learned the Food Bank’s appliances included a 40-year-old Montgomery Ward refrigerator, plus Cold Spot freezers, we realized the Food Bank could benefit from our help.”

“This was a very meaningful and extremely generous donation to our food bank,” said volunteer Ozzie Ohl. “Since our organization is an entirely volunteer group we have very limited funds, so this goes a long ways to help us out.

“One of our biggest goals for us this summer and fall is to be able to provide more fresh produce to those we serve,” Ohl said. “Having that refrigerator unit will really help us keep the produce fresh. Hopefully local gardeners will also plant an extra row in their gardens for the food bank this year to help us keep that refrigerator well stocked. The additional freezer will give the Food Bank extra storage to handle large orders from the Food Bank of Iowa, and local and regional businesses.”

North Iowa Builders Exchange is a member drive organization of local and area building trades professionals. It promotes and educates the building and trades industry, co-sponsors the annual Home Show and works with NIACC and local schools to provide educational scholarships for the building and trades industry.
