Morgan Moore CCA Food Drive Celebration
Thank you to everyone who contributed toward the Morgan Moore CCA Food Drive with their donations and by volunteering at Market Street during the food drive. More than $1,200 in cash was collected. In addition, 2,000-plus items were donated, including 68 turkeys, canned goods and boxed items. A total of 66 volunteers conducted the food drive. The food drive helps to ensure that the angels served by Christian Community Action are able to enjoy a nice Thanksgiving meal.
