Jadyn Sigg, a native of Iola pursuing a degree in social work at Pittsburg State University, is collecting funds and goods to benefit the soup kitchen, Lord’s Diner, in Pittsburg.
Sigg intends to direct the funds to purchase cleaning supplies.
Donations of goods can be directed to Iola’s St. John’s Catholic Church. Specifically, Sigg is asking for bleach, vinegar, laundry detergent, towels, paper towels, baby wipes and window cleaning solutions.
The Lord’s Diner is a nonprofit open since 2017, serving all who come to their door. This year, more than 54,000 meals have been served. Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the kitchen has had to resort to serving to-go meals instead of having an open dining room.
Sigg’s goal is to collect 250 items.
“We are entering cold and flu season while in the midst of a pandemic,” Sigg said in a PSU press release. “It is my hope to maintain a clean and safe environment to keep the community healthy.”
