Fill the Gazebo is a huge community-wide food drive, huge enough for donations to fill the gazebo at Normal Park in just 3 hours. It is an outgrowth of the former CROP WALK and is sponsored by the Merrill Ministerium. All donation stay local. This is your invitation to participate in The Big Fill Number Seven- visible way to show how much Merrill community members take care of each other.
In 2018 , 33 organizations and 88 individuals took part in the Fill the Gazebo Food Drive. Over 8,500 pounds of goods were collected, along with over $4,500 in monetary contributions-truly an overwhelming response! We didn't guite fill the gazebo, but we have HIGH Hopes for 2019
How Can You Participate?
A group collection may be made or individuals may drop off their donations that day. Monetary donations are welcome, checks payable to Merrill Food Pantry.

A gift for the Food for Kids Program is best given in the form of a gift card to a grocery store , Wal-Mart, or Sam's Club. Please specify that it is for Food for Kids.
