On Saturday Dec 20, dozens of Cedar Park neighbors gathered to assemble holiday baskets of nutritious foods to be distributed to needy households in the community. The rapid assembly of the baskets (OK, they’re really large shopping bags, but you get the point) took place at Renewal Church in the neighborhood, as has been the case for many years. The room was full of joyous noise as volunteers moved through a series of tables and their bags were filled by other volunteers with vegetables, greens, sweet potatoes, fruit, and other items. Some photos below show the operation in action. The final three pictures show all the volunteers gathered together (there were too many for one picture!)
