Dear Editor,
Hollister residents reaching out to our community impressed me last week. Local residents collected cans of food for the needy. Members and friends of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints collected an estimated 500 cans for the needy on October 27.
The celebration to gather the cans was also the annual family chili cook-off. The event included all the contributing families enjoying chili, corn bread and pie together.
Everyone seemed to enjoy reaching out to others as the cans were placed in large barrels to be delivered to the community pantry.
