IT ALL
ADDS UP
Caring & Sharing Christmas campaign culminated Saturday with the distribution of boxes
of food and Christmas gifts for over 315 families in Mineola this year. Volunteers outside the
Ministries Center work like a well-oiled machine as they roll the numbered boxes assigned to
each family out the building and to the waiting vehicles. Larger families were given up to six
boxes of food, well over 100 pounds and smaller families got three boxes of food.
