It was a very quiet weekend for Open Door. I imagine people were enjoying the holidays with their families. Open Door was not forgotten, though, as we had a cash donation from the Church of the Brethren, ,an anonymous donor gave a cash donation, and the St. John's Lutheran Church presented a large check for Open Door needs. Thanks to all of you so much, and I'm sure you will be richly blessed. Groceries were received from the youth group of the Union Center Church, to help replenish the pantry. Open Door received two thank you notes from those who received Christmas baskets. These people are very appreciative for the food and the thoughtfulness. Volunteers are very kind and generous, and are staying on for the next four months with me. This is the first article for the New Year, and I certainly hope everyone has a happy and prosperous New Year, and that the Lord will bless each and every one. Alice Dumph, Director.
