b'.IN CASE YOU MISSED IT (from our January 2021 on-line Newsletter)YOUR NEIGHBOURWewanttothankyouforyoursupportoftheHelpYour Neighbour food drive to stock the shelves at Operation Scugog on Saturday December 5. It was a tremendous day in which we had over 70 people from the community collect from generous folks, thousands of pounds of food and over $3,000. This is a testament to how much the community here in Scugog supports each other. It began in the early year with the small but mighty group of people who donated regularly. It developed into a bid for help and it came tolling the shelves. It does not matter if you helped in the beginning or to the end of this year; your donation has made a huge di erence in the lives of many. I hope and prayChris Lazure along with Todd Beck of the Knights of that you remember to keep our shelves full throughout the year.
