										The 
										Hope Grows Community Center in Lincoln 
										recently implemented a "Blessing Box" 
										mini food pantry outside its building. 
										The box will contain food and daily 
										needs items that can be taken by members 
										of the community at will. The Blessing 
										Box was stocked with assistance from the 
										West Lincoln-Broadwell Service Club. 
										Students from WLB put together care 
										packages for the little pantry and 
										delivered them to the community center 
										this week.

										The

										helped make Christmas a little brighter 
										for those in need of food. The Lodge 
										collected and presented $400 to the 
										Logan County Food Pantry as well as the 
										food pantry at the Holy Family Catholic 
										Church in town. The checks were 
										presented to the two pantries by Lodge 
										member Michael Starasta.

						We 
						need a little Christmas now 
						
						 The 
						past few nights, LDN photojournalist Mitch Douglas has 
						been touring the town looking for Christmas lights, and 
						he has found many!
 For those who have the opportunity to go searching for 
						yourself, we encourage you to do so. But for those who 
						can't find the time or don't have the ability, here is 
						the first of a three-part series.
 
 Look for more photos from Mitch in the Friday and
