The annual White Mountain Community Freehold Can Tree campaign brought in more than 2,200 cans of food that will be donated to Shepherd’s Kitchen in Snowflake. Cash donations were also received, allowing the organization to give $100 to the Silver Creek Senior Center and Our Lady of Snow Catholic Church to go toward their United Food Bank purchases. Jeanie McDuffee (center) presented the checks on behalf of the White Mountain Community Freehold to John Heal (left) of Our Lady of the Snow and Loretta Whitlow (right) of the Silver Creek Senior Center.
