The Adventist Community Service Center would like to express its appreciation to all those in and out of the community for the many donations of goods and cash gifts.
The center has had a very busy year with the help of its 30-some volunteers. Those volunteers represent nearly every church in the community.
"It has meant many hours of work but we all enjoyed the time together and had a lot of fun," said Bill and Karen Reed, directors.
Volunteers gave over 9,270 hours of their time. The center served an average of 50 families a week, which averages 184 persons. Free clothing articles amounted to 38,973 pieces; 410 household items; 7,148 miscellaneous items; 872 pairs of shoes; and 12 new baby layettes for new mothers.
The Gallatin Food Pantry served over 170 families in Daviess County, which is over 500 persons. Each week one to three new families need help.
"We are looking forward to another year serving our community," said the Reeds. "May God bless us all."
