Donations can be dropped off at the Wakefield Post Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., or residents can get a $10 bag of food for $5 at Super One Foods in Ironwood.

Officials say the drive has gotten off to a great start with a $10,000 private donation and a $3,000 donation from the Lac Vieux Desert Band of Lake Superior Chippewa in Watersmeet.
