Twin Lakes Store collecting for teens The Twin Lakes Store has once again begun fundraising for its annual Teen Giving Tree and is asking the community for donations of produce and fruit. One hundred percent of the proceeds are used to buy Christmas presents for the teens in the north lakes neigh- borhood. “Gleaning the local gardens is a wonderful way to raise money for our Teens,” said Vicki Ambrosio, owner of Twin Lakes Store. Tomatoes, tomatillos, beans, zucchini, apples and more have been available from time to time. However, apples — including asian apples — are all that is currently available. Twin Lakes Store is located three miles North of Florence on Highway 101, near Sutton Lake. Donations can be dropped off during business hours, seven days a week, from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. For more information, call 541-997-3021.
