On Saturday December 14 our 30th annual Optimist Club Christmas Sharing program was carried out by about 50 club members and volunteers. They teamed up in pairs to buy and deliver groceries to 30 needy Northridge area families, with a total of 88 kids. With a generous donation from Cargill Corporation supplementing club funds, and gift cards donated by the Needmore Rd. Kroger store, a total of $175 was spent on each family. After the deliveries most of the volunteers met for lunch at Marion's (filling up their dining room).
Despite the heavy overnight snowfall, all deliveries were carried out. The 30 families served is the largest number since the event was started. Many thanks to the organizers, members, and volunteers, and all who made this happen, for their time and efforts. And thanks also to Cargill and Kroger for the extra support that allowed us to reach more families this year.
Thanks to All !
