Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!  During these holidays, frozen chicken leg quarters, apple sauce, cranberry sauce, peaches, raisins, carrots, diced tomato, corn, lentils and cranberry juice were distributed and we served about 136 households / 589 individuals with 247 total bags distributed.  Unfortunately, Serving & Sharing Foundation ran out of commodities again but once again our gracious partner (Society of St. Vincent de Paul) covered the rest by giving out their own commodities.  Together, let us make a big difference!
