It’s the gift-giving season and many of us have someone who engages in outdoor recreation on their gift list. Whether they hike, run, cycle, hunt, fish, ride horses, or whatever else you can dream of, finding a gift for the outdoor recreationist on your list can be a challenge.

Thank you so much for your generosity, friends! Our pantries continue to be pretty well-stocked, so we have included other items again this week. Our most-needed list starts with perishables we need, moves on to important non-perishables, and concludes with cold-weather items.
Today marks the first time we're asking for your bread bags, so we want to explain why. When people live or work outdoors, it can save toes from frostbite to have a non-permeable layer of plastic between their socks and their shoes. There are no better bags for this than bread bags.
Thank you for considering helping in any of these ways... together we are keeping people's bellies full and bodies warm!
