Volunteers of all ages helped with the organization and packing of food baskets for this year’s Christmas For All program. American Legion Post 243 volunteers, adults, Hank and Glenda Bullard, Post Commander Charles O’Neal and youth volunteer six year old Heather Gray, granddaughter of Carolyn Brown of Saltillo, began by loading buggies with four pound bags of cornmeal, sugar and flour. Larger sacks of the items went to large families.
