On Saturday, December 22, 2024, Marilyn and her team distributed 55 ten-pound Christmas hams, generous selections of trimmings, including carrots, potatoes, corn, rolls, and cookie mixes along with 80 Christmas stockings filled with toys and gifts and hand-crafted ornaments made by local children. Community members generously donated all items.
