Donations still needed for Share program
Members of the high school’s Interact Club will be joined by members of their sister organization, the middle school’s Youth Act Club, to pack the boxes.
With factory closings and rocky economic times, the request for Share boxes has been tremendous. In trying to meet those needs, the Standard has announced 525 boxes will be packed and distributed.
People who are unable to pick up boxes themselves will have a box delivered to their door by a Southern Standard employee, regardless of where they live in the county.
“The need has really been great this year,” said Sharon Patrick, the Standard’s Share coordinator. “We certainly appreciate everybody who has already donated, but donations in general have been a bit slow and we’re hoping they pick up.”
Donations can be mailed to Share c/o Southern Standard, P.O. Box 150, McMinnville, Tenn., 37111 or delivered to the newspaper office at 105 College Street.
