Food drive results

Alexander & Bebout Inc. and Kitchens Inc. held their sixth annual food drive at their annual Christmas party. Field and office employees contributed over 180 food items and a ham was donated by one of the employees. Tom Alexander, chairman of the board of Alexander & Bebout and president of Kitchens Inc. conducted an “auction” of purchased and donated items. One of the auction items, a Swedish Weave throw hand made by Sandy Smith, wife of longtime A&B employee Cliff Smith, brought $200. That, along with other auction items, and individual contributions, totaled $926. All food and money was donated to the Cooperative Ministries Food Bank.
