Donations keep coming into B&B Market

The B&B Market donation drive in Cloquet keeps on going. John and Kim Lind announced this week that they have received more than $70,000 from people to go toward packages of food for those who are struggling to make ends meet during the pandemic response. The Linds estimate they have helped out more than 3,500 people in the region.

The couple got a boost a few weeks ago when friend Mark Osvold of Pine River Sales donated an enclosed trailer to help with deliveries the couple was making with their van. And Dave Kauma and Julie Rothmeier of the Rotary Club of Cloquet came by to donate $500. (top photo)

"Kim wants to get to $100,000," John said this week. "We're not going to stop."
