Toys for Town 2009
Saturday, December 19, 2009 At 8am Saturday morning we met at the Econo Foods loading ramp. We helped transfer the food onto trucks for transport to the new Farmington High School. Once at the High School, we helped split it into bags for distribution to 96 area families in need. We had a large number of Brothers turn out, as well as five Corinthian No. 67 Past Masters.

Who benefits from a program like this? When I returned home, I saw my neighbors down the street taking in one of the food bundles. There are a lot of people in need, for whatever reason, that we may not realize need our help.
