DECEMBER, 2008 HOLIDAY CLEARING HOUSE
THE 2007 HOLIDAY CLEARING HOUSE
was a huge success. This community owned program was able to serve 445 families with 976 children and 156 shut-ins.
2008 HOLIDAY CLEARING HOUSE This year's clearing house was held at the Delaware County Fairgrounds Coliseum Building and the Buehler Barn on Saturday, December 13, 2008.
Because of the generosity of our communtiy, we were able to provide food and gifts to 491 families which is a record number. Within these families there were 1,125 children, 524 adults, and168 senior and/or disabled shut-ins. On Saturday, Dec. 6th, food for nearly 18,000 meals was packed in grocery bags for these families. Delivery to our senior and/or disabled shut-ins was made possible by a group of special volunteers. VOLUNTEERS MADE IT POSSIBLE
Our volunteers helped by donating their valuable time. Throughout the season, volunteers picked up donated food drive items, sorted food & gifts and did some grocery shopping for those in need. Others helped by providing translation service, loading groceries and gifts into cars, and providing food for volunteers. The Delaware County community has supported this giving program for more than 50 years. A special "Thanks" to each of you for your help with this program.
