Saturday November 5th “Stuff the Bus” holiday food drive to benefit citizens of our county who may not other wise have a holiday dinner meal took place in Valley Springs.
This event was graciously co-sponsored by the Resource Connection food bank and Calaveras Transit.
Holiday turkeys for families in need.
The Event was very successful and I was very inspired by the good spirits and giving nature of the people who donated to help provide holiday meals. Due to the generosity of our neighbors and friends we were able to collect two pallet sized crates of food in addition to 32 turkeys and a ham that will make the holidays that much more special for those in need this season.
My family and I feel very blessed to have had the opportunity to serve at this event and felt uplifted by such a positive demonstration of giving in times of need. With so many awful things happening in today’s world, it’s nice to see such a wonderful display of caring so close to home right here in Valley Springs.
We all enjoyed the opportunity to help. It's a very good feeling.
For those who were unable to donate at this event, but would like to contribute watch for the “Santa’s Express” big red bins at various businesses and other locations in our county including most all public school sites.
