Community Christmas halfway to needs

The 46th annual Community Christmas program has twice as much demand for assistance this holiday season as it did in 2019, and about half as much money.

The shortfall, if it persists through next week, will likely mean sacrificing food vouchers for those who’ve applied for assistance, said Brandie Ledford, one of the local volunteers orchestrating the Community Christmas effort.

Distribution day is one week from Friday, on Dec. 18 at Marion Baptist Church.
