Fill the Gazebo

Fill the Gazebo 2024 Fill the Gazebo Food Drive began in 2013. It replaced the CROP Hunger Walk, a quarter of whose proceeds remained local. In contrast, all of the proceeds from Fill the Gazebo stay in our community. These proceeds will be divided between Merrill’s three food pantries: Community Food Pantry, Trinity's - Open Hearts Food Pantry, and New Testament Church's - His Hands Extended Food Pantry and the local Food for Kids program. The 2024 Fill the Gazebo event will take place on Saturday, June 15th from 9 – 11 am in the Normal Park Gazebo. On June 15th bring non-perishable food items, personal hygiene items, cleaning products, and paper products to the Gazebo between 9 and 11am. Cash or checks made payable to St Stephens with “Fill the Gazebo” in the memo line, may be brought to the gazebo as well, if it’s more convenient, checks can be sent to St Stephen's Church at 903 E 2nd Street, Merrill WI 54452. All donations will be divided between the four entities being supported.
