Happy New Year!
I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday and a very merry Christmas. We were closed for 2 weeks and we are expecting to be covered up next Thursday. Our hours for food boxes are every Thursday from 10 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. We gave out Christmas bags of school supplies, candy, and toys to all the students at Copperbasin Elementary School and South Polk Elementary School. We also gave school supplies to Copperbasin High School. That’s about 2000 bags in all. I would like to thank all the volunteers who make this possible. They work long hours and do alot of work in a short amount of time. It can be very stressful. Thanks to Cheryl Brooks, Allen Cook, Steve Cook, Forrest Johnston, Anna Postelle, Ceil Simmons, Ann Curtis, Charline Montgomery, Joan Jones, Frank Fisher, Lucy Grogan, and the Scott’s (George, Amy, Melissa, Tara, Tamara, and James). The Rev. Bobby Scott and his wonderful wife Brenda lead the pack. Yes, they are my in-laws. That doesn’t change the fact that are incredible Christian people who will help anyone if they possibly can. This Food Ministry is their way of doing what God has laid on their hearts, which is to feed His sheep. Riverside is a family-oriented, Christian organization with a board of directors who love God and their neighbors. I hope everyone who needs our help will feel free to call 423-496-3000 and leave us a message. We will return your calls. Thanks, Donna
