| Salvation Army Breakfast |
Only one week left before Christmas. This Saturday, Alpine Township Hall became a temporary distribution point for the Santa Claus Girls. The Santa Claus Girls (santaclausgirls.org) is a 100% volunteer organization that serves as a distribution network for gifts during the holidays. All donations stay within Kent County and over 12,000 families were served by the Santa Clause Girls organization.

While some volunteers were busy delivering presents for the Santa Claus Girls, other area residents and youth took advantage of the Salvation Army's Santa Claus Breakfast held at their retreat center at Little Pine Island. The breakfast was open to any member in the community and families enjoyed a good breakfast, met with Santa, had their picture taken, or participated in arts and crafts. A number of volunteers from our local community were also on hand assisting Salvation Army staff.
