Township thanks holiday donors

Posted January 08, 2015 12:01 am

Vernon Township would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone that participated in the annual holiday Sponsor-A-Family programs.

Once again the residents of Vernon Township came together to make the holiday spirit come alive for over 130 township families. Your thoughtfulness enabled these families to enjoy Thanksgiving dinner baskets and holiday gifts.

In addition, Vernon Township would like to thank the local schools, families, corporations, churches, synagogues, clubs and other organizations who donated cash, grocery gift cards and food to the township's nonperishable food pantry.

A special thank you to Stevenson High School for delivering over 350 boxes of food and cash donations that were collected during their annual Give-A-Thon.

Vernon Township would not be able to achieve its goal of helping those in need without the support of the community.

Wishing you a happy, healthy New Year.

William E. Peterson

Vernon Township Supervisor
