St. Mary's & Others Made Thanksgiving More Joyful for Many

St. Mary's Catholic Church and the Hamilton Food Cupboard,  along with a number of volunteers and businesses making donations, brightened the recent Thanksgiving holiday for some 150 area families.

Volunteers assembled boxes of food -- that included turkeys donated by the church, fresh vegetables from Common Thread Farm and even homemade baked goods -- and delivered them last week. Combined they fed some 260 adults and and 250 children in need.

The church also had a giveaway of winter coats for those who needed them.

The church's religious education class helped with the project.
