Quarterly food distribution found a new home for December. The Community Action Agency building on Newberry Avenue served as the pick-up location for the fourth-quarter. Volunteers made quick work of the 378 (756 brown-paper grocery bags) portions assembled in the agency's dining room. Bag filling commenced shortly after 8 a.m., and all bags were lined up outside by noon. Marie Nicholson, service coordinator for the Newberry location of Chippewa-Luce-Mackinac CAA, explained that six members of the Tahquamenon Area Snowmobile Association stepped up to the plate, offering their assistance to a volunteer crew depleted by frigid temperatures. Income eligibility levels have increased for the current year.
