Merry Christmas.

I find myself looking for and missing Winnie Mosher's messages. She was always finding the best in people and encouraging all of us to do what we can to be blessings to others.

I would like to ask those who are able to provide some essential items that we don't always think of when donating to our local food pantries - laundry detergent, bath soap, shampoo, diapers and wipes, paper products. Ask your friends at church, and your neighbors to think about picking up some extras.

Many of the families who are in need are working but cannot afford to buy these necessities.

Catholic Charities, First Love Ministries and the Pregnancy Care Center as well as the food pantries could use your help, too.

Thank you all. Your help will be appreciated more than you know.

Winnie will be pleased.
