(Mankato) – January 8, 2016 - Needy families in the Mankato area had brighter holidays, thanks to Minnesota Nurses Association members at Mayo Clinic Health System in Mankato.

MNA nurses held a food drive in December, raising 133 pounds of food and other items for the Echo Food Shelf in Mankato.

"Our members came together to give back to the community," said MNA Mankato Co-Chair Chad Weiler. 

"We live and work here and know people are struggling," said MNA Mankato Co-Chair David Nachreiner. "Nurses believe no one should go without what they need, whether it is healthcare or food on the table."
