The residents of Williams Lake once again showed their support for those in need.

From December second to the twenty-fourth Fresh Co in the Lake City held their annual Holiday Food Drive for the Salvation Army.

During that time Store Owner Evan Haubrich said they raised $7,236.61 in cash donations and another

$9,160 in food bag donations bringing the total to $16,396.61.

Last year Williams Lake Fresh Co came up a bit short of their 10-thousand dollar goal raising $9,952.83.

Haubrich thanks the community for their continued support in making this year’s Holiday Food Drive the great success that it was.
