In May, we tragically lost a true pillar of our greater Vernon community – Bryan Flint Sr.
 
To honor Bryan's spirit of giving to his community, the Vernon Legislative Delegation will host a Community Food Drive in his memory to benefit The Cornerstone Foundation where he served as the deputy director. 

The main food drive will be held on Oct. 21 from 12:30 to 3 p.m. at St. Bernard Church at 25 St. Bernard Terrace in Vernon.
