The Cape Charles Food Pantry really needs donations. The recession is hitting everyone hard and more people than ever will be looking for ways to make ends meet just as others are cutting back on their giving. Consider making a charitable donation in honor of a friend or loved one this Holiday Season instead of a gift. Or donate some non-perishable food items to the Cape Charles Food Pantry. When you go food shopping, pick up “two for one” food items and donate one. Contact Janet at 331-4275 for more information or to schedule a drop-off. Mail checks to CC Food Pantry at 303 Madison Avenue in Cape Charles.

Sullivan’s Printing & Office Supply has their annual “Angel Tree.” Please stop by and select an angel for the holiday season. Sponsored by the Salvation Army
