Many are responsible for Open Door success

According to steering committee members, the Wa-Nee community has been extremely helpful in keeping the Open Door, Nappanee, open and serving those families with special needs throughout 1995. The local help agency currently has a good bank balance for helping with energy costs and/or clothing and food perishables, and a stocked pantry, in order to provide families with needed groceries during times of crisis. Persons and organizations throughout the WaNee community have made the agency a priority 'when contributing needed items. Henry Whelan is directing the

Open Door, which is served by volunteers Monday through Friday, 9-11a.m., or by calling 773-2985. Facilities are located at the Nappanee United Methodist Church, 301 E. Market St. Steering committee members include Dorothy Greene, president; Sel Copeland, secretary; Bonnie Johnston, Faye Allen, Dorothy Mishler, Don McKee, Ike Phillips and Ken Walters. No one who works for Open Door is paid—all are volunteers. A number of special community projects held throughout the year enable Open Door to continue its valuable services. These include the walkers who participate in the annual CROP Walk, and their sponsors; churches which respond to requests for specified food items at Thanksgiving time, and volunteers from service groups, who ring the bells at Christmas time —and those who donate funds through this project. Three Wa-Nee Elementary Schools: Wakarusa, Nappanee and Woodview, collect food for the pantry at Christmas time, and the North Wood Middle School ilsd did a great job of collecting funds and food earlier in the fall. The Scouts also had a food collection project —all these young people and their efforts are very much appreciated, according to volunteers. Volunteers, in addition to 'staffing the agency, pack outgoing boxes, sort incoming food, deliver boxes and gifts, etc] At Christmas, a total of 13 fam-

ilies or organizations adopted families through Open Door, and helped to make their Christmas celebration a brighter one. Businesses are also credited with helping Open Door throughout the year. van Camps supplies cartons for food boxes, and John’s Butcher Shop cuts donated turkeys, hams and other meat products at no charge. Rite Choice Foods also offers special “case” prices for food obtained by Open Door, and both van Camps and G.L. Perry allow bell ringers to use their facilities for the Christmas projects. The United Methodist Church family is appreciated for the loan of facilities for housing Open Door operations, and for providing the telephone service. Pantry Plus established a contribution collection center for cash donations for the purchase of toys at Christmas time, and the toys were purchased ,at G.L. Perry, which gave discounts allowing the monies to purchase almost twice as much as they ordinarily would have purchased. The Nappanee Public Library sponsors a mitten 1 tFefe 1 feach Christmas, -as well as gift- book opportunities for families receiving Open Door assistance, and NIPSCO provides a 50-50 match in funds, as Open Door helps those who need assistance with utility bills. Steering committee members wish to thank the community for continued support of the programs provided by Open Door, stressing that this cooperation is what makes the assistance possible.
