Special thanks go out to all the citizens who took the time to support this year’s Making A Difference Food Drive. Bob Bassett, Vice- President of the CHB Youth Foundation, expressed his gratitude to Christian Feyli, President, Colleen Dewey-Wright, Christoper Wieckhorst, Dan Halliday and Carol Livermore Ostrander for their servant leadership in helping to do good for needy seniors and stated, “It takes a village to address a community problem such as food insecurity.”

“Working together, anything is possible.”
