Despite a Friday morning temperature of 15 degrees, Ash took his
place on the canopy roof above the IGA's front doors. He will be
there again Saturday trying to bring attention to the food pantry's
needs. Prepackaged bags of groceries are available at the store
with price ranges of $5, $10 and $20. Any cash donations
will be used by food pantry staff to purchase items need to balance
their shelves.
The food pantry is administered and run by an all-volunteer
staff.
Above, Santa waves to the crowd. The forklift at left is to help Santa
get up and down from the roof, as his reindeer are still on vacation
in Florida resting up for their big night.
