Citizens for Colton First Distribute Food Baskets for the Holidays

Citizens for Colton First completed their annual food basket distributions for the Christmas holiday. Twenty baskets were completed and given to four Colton schools, a local church and people known to be in need. The funds to fill these baskets were collected throughout the year from the group’s active members and visitors to their meetings. A game called “Happy bucks/Sad bucks” was used to elicit donations. A container is passed around the room and anyone can tell why they are happy or sad and then deposit a dollar or more for each comment, in the container. Donations to different schools were to allow the widest distribution of food baskets available.
