Miller Poultry donates much chicken during holidays KPC NEWS SERVICE
ORLAND — Miller Poultry, which is considered Steuben County’s largest employer with some 500 people on staff, will provide some 156,000 pounds of chicken products to local and regional food banks throughout the holiday season, said Sally Durbin, Miller spokeswoman. “This will feed several thousand families,” Durbin said. The drive started off in Fremont, prior to Thanksgiving, at the Fremont Community Church food pantry, where 800 pounds of chickens and chicken sausage was distributed. Following are recent and upcoming donations that will take place on behalf of Miller: • LaGrange County Food & Clothes Basket, Dec. 1, 6,900 pounds of chicken and chicken sausage; • Noble County, Dec. 2, with distribution to the food pantries in Kendallville, Albion, Ligonier and Rome City.
A total of 12,900 of pounds chicken and chicken sausage will be donated in Noble County. • DeKalb County, Friends Table in Auburn today. • Angola, Project Help, on Dec. 17, delivering 3,800 pounds of chicken and chicken sausage. “We also will be taking some to the Community Harvest Food Bank in Fort Wayne, the Northern Indiana Food Bank in South Bend, The Elkhart County Food Bank, Faith Rescue, GCC Food Pantry in Elkhart/South Bend,” Durbin said. “We drop some to the Coldwater Food Pantry and Bronson (in Michigan).” Miller is one of a handful of poultry producers in Indiana that make such donations annually. “In total during the holidays, Miller Poultry will donate 156,000 pounds of chicken products to these local and regional food banks,” Durbin said.

Miller Poultry, Orland, kicked off the holiday season with a donation of 800 pounds of whole chickens and 30 cases of chicken sausage to the Fremont Community Church Food Pantry in November. Miller makes donations to pantries across the four-county region each holiday season to make sure people have food on their tables at this time of the year. Pictured are, front, from left, Brian Molter, Miller maintenance; Heidi Parnin, Miller second-shift processing supervisor; and pantry volunteers, Frank Bradley, Margie Bradley, Hershel Smith, Janet Green, Carolyn Smith, Kathy Gates, Mary Gollnick and Judy Neutz.

Happy holidays This is the second of two holiday special sections published by KPC Media Group. The guides are designed to get you in the holiday spirit and provide a few ideas about shopping with some of the area’s finest local merchants. In addition, this guide features a collection of suggestions for spreading holiday cheer with your community. There are many charitable agencies that help out during the holiday season, and many are featured in this section. If you can’t find the agency that best pairs with your hopes for charitable giving this season, we urge you to contact your community foundation for possible ideas. Meanwhile, this section provides businesses with a high-visibility vehicle to share their messages this holiday season. It is with this partnership through advertisers that we are able to present the accompanying information. We encourage you to patronize these businesses not only through the holidays, but throughout the year. This special section is also available at kpcnews.com. Happy holidays from everyone at KPC Media Group! ON THE COVER: Ryan and Gabby Hartman of LaGrange place new toys in the back of a van parked in the showroom of LaGrange County Dodge on a recent morning. The LaGrange car dealership kicked off its 10th annual toy drive. It will continue collecting new toys for the next few days then donate them to the Clothes and Food Basket of LaGrange County’s Christmas Bureau for distribution at Christmas.

The second floor of Shelter Ministries might seem like a miniature mall this holiday season. In August, executive director Renee Florin unveiled the Auburn-based charity’s streamlined look in an open house — a decorated upstairs solely set apart for a Christmas
shopping experience. Florin reorganized unused rooms to hold children’s toys, socks, mittens, hats, shoes and coats for the organization’s Shop-4-Christmas program. Florin said after so many applicants signed up for the ministry’s DeKalb County Christmas Bureau in 2013 they needed a way to help the large number of people who didn’t

qualify. That year a local company donated money for the first Shop-4Christmas program. At the event, parents were able to shop for their child and get clothing for their children. As the families left Shelter Ministries last year, they went with a holiday dinner from the food pantry and gifts wrapped for their children. The Salvation Army Red Kettle Drive in DeKalb County goes directly to Shelter Ministries and the funds are used for several of the agency’s programs. The Shop-4-Christmas program relies on the generosity of people in the community. At the Kendallville Chamber of Commerce, families and businesses are giving generously, according to chamber office manager Lisa Wolf. A committee at the chamber sponsors the Kendallville Christmas Bureau providing a way for families to get basics such as new winter coats and boots, and toys for Christmas. The bureau coordinates an adopt-a-family

program. When people adopt a family, Wolf said it makes the season more special. “We are doing really well at matching up families to be adopted.” she said. “We’ve had some offices join up. In lieu of doing an office exchange they are going to adopt a family.” Several families have also signed up to sponsor a family instead of exchanging gifts. “It’s good to see people embrace the spirit of the season,” Wolf said. There are several charities providing extra help during the holiday season, and many that operate year-round who rely on the support of donors. Here’s a quick guide at what several are doing:

Parkside Elementary was excited to present 55 popular children’s books to help brighten the holidays for local children.

at least two toys for each child. For the family, the bureau requests sponsors give a food/gift card for their Christmas dinner. It can be done by forwarding money to the Garrett Christmas Bureau fund for a food voucher or by purchasing a grocery store gift card so families can do their own shopping. Another way to help is through stocking stuffers, a complement for a child’s Christmas gift. The stockings should be filled with small toys and goodies just for them. If needed, the bureau can provide empty stockings for individuals or organizations to fill to make a smile light up a child’s face. Filled stockings should be returned to Garrett City Hall to be added to the Garrett Christmas Bureau room. Deadline is on or before Dec. 15. Each year, additional donations of new toys, games and dolls are needed from the community to help provide at least two toys to every child that comes to the Garrett Christmas Bureau

Formed in 1989 by the Steuben County Ministerial Association, Project Help’s mission is to avoid duplication of local ministries and provide a central location for under-resourced people. The food pantry is open Monday, Wednesday and Friday, 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Equipped with large commercial refrigerators and freezers, the organization welcomes food donations of all kinds. It purchases food through the Community Harvest Food bank, stretching each dollar donated five times of what it might be at a department store.

Christmas bureau lists giving opportunities Deadline for donations is December 15 GARRETT — The Garrett Christmas Bureau is offering several opportunities to help the community this holiday season.
• Sponsor a Garrett Christmas Bureau family This year’s families are as small as single-parent homes with one child and as large as two parents and up to six children. There is a family that is just waiting to hear from a sponsor that would love to help them make their children’s Christmas holiday just a little brighter. To sponsor a family, call Sue at 260-3573836 or email her at sue@garrettindiana. us The first step in sponsoring a family is determining what size family you would like to sponsor, based on the amount of money you are willing to spend in order to make a family’s Christmas brighter.
Christmas Specials
Sponsors are asked to provide one new clothing outfit per child and at least two toys for each child. For the family, organizers request you provide a food/ gift card for their Christmas dinner. You can do this by forwarding money to the Garrett Christmas Bureau fund for a food voucher or by purchasing a grocery store gift card so that they can do their own shopping.
• Stocking Stuffers The perfect complement for a child’s Christmas gifts would be a stocking filled with small toys and goodies just for them. If needed, the bureau can provide empty stockings for you, your group, or organization to fill to make a smile light up a child’s face. Filled stockings should be returned to City Hall to be added to the Garrett Christmas Bureau room. Deadline is on or before Dec. 15. Volunteers will be sure to give a stocking to every child that receives assistance from the Garrett Christmas Bureau.
