Community came together to make drive successful

To the editor:
On behalf of the Ortonville Community Emergency Fund board I would like to thank everyone who contributed money, bought gift cards, donated food and toys, fetched, counted, lifted, sorted, packed, shopped, phoned, filled gift tag requests, delivered orders, picked up orders, and cleaned up after the holiday distribution from the food pantry.
Somebody figured out that approximately 6 percent of our local population needed help this year. I figure the other 94 percent helped them.
May all 100 percent be richly blessed in 2004!

Sue Howard
OCEF Board

P.S. Special thanks to the people who rescued me as I was going down under 1500 cans of soup.
