Social Services ... Can You Help?

Thanksgiving and Christmas will soon be upon us; but, everyday the Social Services office is helping people. More and more families are seeking food help.

Can you help provide food for families and the homeless? Donations such as rice, beans, instant soup, etc. would be greatly appreciated.

The holidays are also a need and donations of items such as stuffing, rolls, yams, etc. are also greatly appreciated.

Financial help is also extremely welcome.

Thank you.
