Willow Creek Christmas Food Box Program was a great event this year. For those who don’t know, it’s a community event that provides one box of food to low income families, seniors and singles. The box contains food that will make one nice holiday meal. This year box included one turkey or ham, mixed vegetables, stuffing, cranberry sauce, butter, potatoes, dinner rolls and a Bundt cake.

Members of the Willow Creek Business Community kicked in this year with generous donations that helped pay for the food provided to all recipients, with enough funds left over to create 40 additional boxes of food for families with children. In great appreciation we’d like to thank:

Paradise Animal Clinic, Silver Willow, Farmer Brown’s, Christian Life Fellowship, Buddy’s Auto, Bigfoot Contract Supply, Willow Creek Pharmacy, Gonzales Mexican Restaurant, The Bead Lady, Patriot Gas Station, Carol’s Country Curl, River Nook Orchards, Willow Creek Farms, Winnett Vineyards, Employees of The Pizza Factory, Flying Blue Dog Farm & Nursery, Kim Lee Puckett, Kathy O’Neil & Don Young and Willow Creek Video.

This is truly a community event, with so many people and organizations involved, donating their time, energy, gas tanks, food, toys, warm clothing and more. We’d also like to thank these businesses and organizations:

WCVFW, Umpqua Bank, Coast Central Credit Union, Trinity River School, Neukom Family Farms, Chevron Station, Local Girl Scouts, Sorptomist, Trinity River B & B, Kiwanis, Xi Phi Omicron Sorority, St. Joseph’s Resource Center, WC Chamber of Commerce, Salvation Army, Shaw Computers, Franz Bakery, Eureka Canned Foods and Willow Creek Rays
