Nate Golla of the Luverne Farm Store presents a $1,200 check to BackPack volunteer Rhonna Jarchow (left), Rock County Food Shelf volunteer Katie Baustian and LACF Director Emily Crabtree Thursday morning, April 1, in the Luverne Area Community Foundation office. Golla presented the check in honor of the 2021 Pancake Day, which was canceled for the second year, due to the COVID-19 pandemic. He said the funds that would have been spent on Pancake Day will now benefit the BackPack Program and Rock County Food Shelf instead. He noted that the Farm Store’s customer appreciation event continued for 55 consecutive years prior to 2020, and the donation at least marked the Farm Store’s commitment to the community. “We’re making the donation in honor of our customers,” Golla said.
