Volunteers helped sort food and package the equivalent of a holiday meal for nearly 300 area families last week at the Winnemucca Events Complex Exhibit Hall. Lowry High School sophomore Dain Maher was overseeing this year's Christmas Food Basket project under the direction of the Winnemucca Ministerial Association as part of his Eagle Scout project. The boy scout placed collection barrels at many area businesses and schools; other businesses and organizations also voluntarily collected food for the baskets. Raley's Supermarket helped by asking shoppers to donate the cost of a bag of food to the program, and Humboldt General Hospital has funded all project advertising.[[In-content Ad]]
