“They really fill a huge,
huge area for us in provid-
ing the toys and presents to
the kids,” said Fleck.
Community Sharing has
been operating the Holiday
Food Box since at least the
1990s as far as members
can remember and will re-
turn next holiday season.
“It’s a lot of work and

so worthwhile,” said Fleck.
“The benefit to the folks
in the community is just
wonderful. We’re thrilled
to be able to provide it.”
