Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas! Only five days left! I love this time of year. Everyone is happier and more giving. It is a fun time.

Our food drive at Smith's Food and Drug was a success! We collected 1,294 food items ( 1,056 cans and 238 other food items) and $143 in cash for the Utah Food Bank. We were excited that so many people were willing to give. We were planning to be at Smith's on Saturday, December 16 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. We had so much success on Saturday that we decided to do it on Monday, December 18 too.

Fox 13 News came and interviewed me on Saturday and aired it that night at 9 and Monday morning. We were excited that so many people were involved. Some people were so generous that they donated large bags full of food and did not ask for a candle. They just wanted to donated to the Utah Food Bank. One lady bought a $50 Smith's gift card so they could buy what they needed. I was impressed at the willingness to give.

We had a lot of success for our first food drive. We'll definitely do it again next year! Have a wonderful Christmas and New Year's!
