2005 Holiday Food Drive
December 18th, 2005 - Pearl City, IL

Yet another year of food gathering of Freeport ABATE to support our community. As in years past, we bring in food, we go shopping for food, and we donate food to the needy. We did this the day after our annual Christmas Party at the Pearl City Legion. While I was not there, I heard it went well and everyone had a great time. Can't ask for more than that other than the fact the weather wasn't too bad this year. Cold, but other than that, pretty good. Take a peek at what went on over the holidays.

Getting the goods at Econo Foods.

Sylvia keeping an eye out for the best prices so we can get as much as possible.

OK number 297, your up for check out.

This is a great shot of everyone passing the food down the line to fill the baskets.

Colleen and Dean are always on board for some winter fun.

And so is George. Check out those canned goods. Each needy family got two big baskets of food. Our group is very generous.

Edie and Marcia clowning around.

Roger and friendly jar of peanut butter. Check out all those saltine crackers.

This gives you and idea of the packaging lines we put together to get all this done.

And lastly, our fine bunch of people going out of their way to help those who are in need. Give them your compliments next time you see them.
