Letter to the editor: Local fundraiser led to shopping

On Saturday, March 25, I had the exciting adventure of a one-minute shopping spree at Greg’s Market. The backstory to this adventure was that a community member won a winning ticket from the Homeward Bound Fundraiser and thoughtfully decided to pass it along by donating it to the CVOEO Food Shelf. Her generosity allowed me to run around the store and load my shopping cart with close to $300 dollars’ worth of meat. It was fun, it was community, and we are grateful. CVOEO would like to thank Greg’s market, Homeward Bound and the ladies from Addison County Home Health & Hospice for donating the winning ticket and making this event so joyfully successful.
