Dec. 19, 2010: The whole week was focused on completing our mission of Feeding the Needy Families of our service area (and beyond).  Our Key Clubs and our Circle K made the difference in our ability to distribute to over 100 families holiday food -- a frozen turkey, fresh vegetables and fruit, and at least 2 boxes of canned food (collected by our Walnut H.S. Key Club). The tears in some of these families' eyes is enough to let you know you have done the right thing.  In addition, Key Club members, Circle K members and Kiwanis Club members helped that week at Isaiah's Rock, where, on Sunday, Dec. 20, 2010, 1,600+ families were given food for their Christmas tables, as well as gender- and age-specific toys to let their kids have something under the tree.  Another 2,400 families received food only.
