(JEFFERSON) - The Jefferson Volunteer Firefighters will once again be preparing and delivering food baskets to those in need living within our Jefferson and Millersburg communities.

Without community support, this program will not be able to fulfill the needs of the community.

Canned food donations as well as financial contributions are needed.

The funding that is received is used to purchase additional food and supplies for a full Christmas dinner.

Non-perishable food items can be dropped off at Rick's Market, Jefferson Grocery, Santiam Market, Sterling Bank and the Jefferson Fire Department.

Monetary donations can be dropped off at the Jefferson Fire District or mailed to P.O. Box 911, Jefferson, OR 97352.

Last year approximately 80 baskets were prepared for delivery which included canned food, ham or turkey, and fresh vegetables.

This program is designed for those who will not have food for a Christmas dinner this year.

Those in need can apply for a food basket at the Jefferson Fire Department, 189 N. Main St., in Jefferson. The Jefferson Food Bank is also sponsoring giving trees.

Gift tags can be picked up at two locations in Jefferson; Rick's Market and the Plantation Inn.

I wish people give as much as they can without putting themselves in the hole. What are we doing in Afghanistan when the people here do not have proper food, medical care and housing. I thought the National Guard was just that. Are we now the Afghanistan National Guard? Also, my personal choice with donations is never in cash. I would only do that to my closest friends so that I know exactly to whom the money is going. I trust no one....with reason... look at all the 9/11 scams and the infinite amount of donation scams that are caught everyday. I give product or time, but cash...not me!
