I would like to say thank you to everyone who helped with our Thanksgiving  and Christmas holiday baskets. 

Starting out with the Veterans of Foreign War Post 10221 in Anchor Point which pays for most of the food donated. Thank you to the Ladies and Men’s Auxiliaries for their continued donations and help. Thank you to the Anchor Point Senior Center for the donation of turkeys and all the collected food. Thank you to Chapman School who also puts out a donation box for the holiday baskets. Thank you to Anchor Point Hardware owner Theresa Bicondova and Smokin’ owner  John Cox for setting up a donation box.  Thank you to each and every one of you who placed an item in one of these donation boxes. Thank you to the Marine Corps League for the wonderful toy donations that light up the eyes of these children and put smiles on their faces.
