A time to give
Placeholder Image
This is the time of year that good men and women will try to give a little extra if they can.

The first gifts should be for home and family but if you find yourself with a little extra this year, you might want to contribute to one of the area food banks.

After Thanksgiving we have a tendency to forget that some of our neighbors are still struggling.

As we did at Thanksgiving, we would ask you to pick up an extra bag of groceries the next time you go shopping and drop it by one of the food banks listed below.
