Thanks to all those
who helped
To the editor:
I am so happy to thank God and everyone who helped or donated to our project because our 49th Annual Meat Canning Project was a success. We canned 34,000 pounds of chicken, which produced 23,149 cans of product. We have been able to can a total of 792,351 cans of meat since our beginning in 1974. May God bless and keep all you have supported, and all who have received these cans. In March, we will be distributing 96 cases of chickens to our local organizations.
We are still in need of financial help. We would like to remind you that the monies given are tax deductible, and all monies are used for the project. Any monetary gifts can be sent to: Central PA World Hunger Assoc., P,O. Box 76, Belleville, Pa. 17004.
A special thanks to the Chief Logan Volunteer Fire Company, station 2, for the use of their building and all the neighboring households who have graciously put up with us during these four days. Thank you.
To our area businesses: Penn Equipment Co., Class 1 Trucking, Snedeker Oil, Big Valley Feed & Grain, S&S Trash Service, our local Sentinel and all other news services who supported the project, we say thank you for your service.
I would like to thank the churches, the groups, the businesses, the farmers, the families and the individuals who supported us with financial gifts. We could not do God's work here in Central Pennsylvania without your help.
To all our volunteers who came and helped. A special thanks to those volunteers who stayed to finish up Wednesday night, after the water pump failure. May God bless you for your service.
A special thanks to Teresa and Lee Cunningham and their group of supporters for serving the volunteers great meals for the last 13 years.
To Jonathon Coldren, our canning coordinator, Sylvanus Peachey, assistant coordinator, the directors and the committee members who were able to help with the canning, I would like to say, "Great job, thank you."
A big thank you goes out to J. Leon and Wanda Yoder for the housing and transporting of the Canner Boys this year. We appreciate your service to this project. We give a special thanks to the Canner Boys who gave two years of voluntary service to the canning project. May God bless you for your commitment.
If you have not yet donated to the project, please do! As I said before, we need your help to make this a successful project.
May this meat be a blessing to those who hunger and may the Lord bless you and keep you.
Together we can.
