Companies donate food

The employees of Alexander & Bebout Inc. and Kitchens Inc. held their 12th annual food drive, in conjunction with their Christmas party, which was held Friday, December 13, at Elks Lodge 1197 in Van Wert. As always, the employees were extremely generous and many food items were collected. The food, as well as hams donated by the two companies, was delivered to the United Methodist Cooperative Ministries Food Bank. Shown are (from the left) Shae Friemoth, Kristen Lange, Jeff McClure, Teresa Parrish, Michelle Sperry, Ann Ream, and Travis Ferrell.  photo provided
