Hunters and farmers donate food to the needy in Aiken
At a Rotary Club luncheon in Aiken Dr John Kilgo described Farmers and Hunters Feeding the Hungry a national group now in 31 states that prompts sportsmen to donate venison to local food banks. He noted red meat is the top item food banks need and that processing costs run about 50 dollars per deer. Local support comes from Ralphs Meat Market with meat delivered to Golden Harvest Food Bank.

Valley Empty Stocking Fund opens applications next Wednesday
The Valley Empty Stocking Fund will take applications from local families on two forthcoming Wednesdays at the Langley Community Center off Highway 421. Bring social security cards, child birth or Medicaid cards, proof of income, rent or mortgage details, and utility bills to show need. The program, started over 20 years ago by the Midland Valley Lions Club and the American Legion, distributed about 30 000 dollars to 180 families last year. Volunteers and donations are welcome, with a Christmas focus on food and toys vouchers rather than cash.
