VW firm gives food, cash

The employees of Alexander & Bebout Inc. and Kitchens Inc. held their fourth annual food drive in conjunction with the companies’ annual Christmas party. Field and office employees donated more than 240 food items, while two employees also donated hams (a gift from the company). Employees also paid money to play a game at the party, with all proceeds going to the food drive. The company matched funds and a total of $486 was donated along with the food items. All food and money will be given to the Cooperative Ministries Food Bank.
