Thus far, we have collected almost $1000 and over 500 pounds of food. This is a good start on reaching our goal of 10,000 pounds before December 14. Currently we have about 5 turkeys and 5 hams that have been pledged by gracious donors, but we will need more. Any contribution you can make will help guarantee that we have enough food for all. And don't worry about leftovers, we are working with a local agency to make sure that the leftover food gets utilized. Also, at this time, we are not taking anymore volunteers as we have exceeded 150 people committed to the event. Thank you again for all of your time and energy. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black'>HOLIDAY MEAL INFO<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black'>The annual Holiday Meal will take place on Saturday, December 15.
