As the Shingletown community struggles to shake off its winter coat and step out into warmer spring days, it seems that a few thankyou’s and acknowledgements have become overdue. Several organizations and individ-uals were instrumental in helping to transition the leader-ship of the Emergency Food Closet from TrueNorth/Grassroots for Kids to Shingletown Medical Center. While the business part of the transition was handled quietly and professionally, the more important issue was main-taining the Food Closet itself for its actual purpose: keeping food available for those in need.
Shingletown Medical Center (SMC) would like to extend its sincere thanks and gratitude to Les Baugh and Sheriff Tom Bosenko for their herculean efforts to match, pound for pound, food gathered during “The Great Shingletown Canned Food Challenge” held between August and October of last year. The community donated almost 800 pounds of goods, and the match challenge resulted in nearly 3,000 pounds. The dy-namic duo rallied the troops all the way from Anderson to Shingletown, to make sure the Food Closet was well- stocked for the winter. Thank you Les and Tom!
