Edling, Wells Fargo Bank, Scolari's customers, Raley's customers and employees and two anonymous donations. Candles & Crafts has donated two large boxes of crafting supplies to be used by the Closet Crafters for their creative fund-raising projects.
A correction to December's food donations: Horizon donated 960 pounds in turkeys. It was listed as Verizon. Omitted for that month was Scolari's cash donation. We apologize for the error.
As the year continues, please remember that the Food Closet operates year round. Your donations and contributions help meet the monthly needs of qualifed families and individuals. Donations can be dropped off at 1255 Waterloo Lane, Gardnerville, Mon-Wed and Friday 1-4 p.m. Contact Eileen Boettiger, Director or Donna Kurtz, Assistant Director for further information at 782-3711.
