Wahkiakum Food Bank gives report on donations

To The Eagle:

Reporting on the Thanksgiving Baskets: We served over 100, thanks to the many many that helped.

Thanks to the Lions Food Drive, the workers, volunteers, servers, etc., that helped bring it all together. Without you, we could not have done it. Thanks for the cash donations (some want to remain anonymous), the food, and all the workers. Thanks to the guys next door that emptied and cleaned out their place so we could use it. Thanks to the traffic director, the girls who compiled the list and the girls who delivered the food to those unable to pick it up themselves. And finally, to “the staff” that put all the food together and then stood out there and gave the food to the families. I know I have probably missed someone; please forgive me.

So think about all the people you have helped; a good feeling, isn’t it? When you see the smiles on their faces, you know they appreciate it so much.

Thursday (today), we will be giving out Christmas baskets.

We have some who wish to remain anonymous. We respect their wishes, but know that without your help we could not do as much as we do.

Thanks so much to everyone. God bless you all. Have a very Merry Christmas.

Jimmie Lou Cleveland, President, Wahkiakum Food Bank
