It’s harder than it looks to clear off a grocery store shelf, Donna Kaehr admitted Saturday morning.

Kaehr, working on behalf of the Iola Community Pantry, was the grand prize winner at Saturday’s fourth annual Iola Rotary Club Grocery Grab at G&W Foods.

Kaehr had five minutes to load up as many groceries as she could get.

All proceeds will benefit the Community Pantry, and at a perfect time, with the holiday giving season just around the corner. (The winning ticket was for the Iola Register, which tapped the Community Pantry as a worthy recipient.)
