Continued from page 6 discouraged at, what they thought, was a smaller donation than they had hoped for. I was able to point out that families are being approached, not only at businesses, but at school, churches, services clubs, etc. If one factors in all these other giv- ings, people are most generous. When we put all these donations from the stores together, we had an enormous amount of food. But the need goes on. In the first two weeks of December, we had almost 90 families come through the Food Share on two Wednesday mornings. The past two years we have noticed our donations drop off over the summer months, as people are away – school are closed, etc. result- ing in us spending a lot of our resources to keep our shelves fully stocked. Once again a big thank you from the North Huron Community Food Share for your very generous dona- tions this past year and wishing each and everyone a very happy and pros- perous 2012.
