The Lord’s Bounty Food Bank came through the Christmas season quite well.  Their Food Distribution Chair Dennis Hydamaka says it was both a sad and very rewarding season.  He says sad is that they are for the first quarter of October to the end of December up 17 percent over last year.  He says in November they set a new all time record feeding 372 people and that’s 120 more than they fed last November and this December they fed 256 people. They also handed out 14 Christmas hampers to families that included a complete turkey dinner and gifts for the children.

Looking at the positive side Hydamaka added there were several fund raisers and collections held for them over November and December so it was very positive on the intake side of things.
