Our little community numbers less than 200 souls.
Last night was our annual fundraiser for the Community Cupboard... a volunteer organization that provides food and other assistance to those in need. The community has been hard hit by the recession and unemployment is high. Also, a high proportion of the residents are on fixed incomes.
$1,900 was donated during the service. Up about 15% from previous year.
The government may be collapsing, but at least here... the people are still hanging together.
