Christmas Food Drive 2016

Each year the New Glarus churches sponsor an annual Christmas Food Drive. The goal is to show families that might be having some unique circumstances love and support. Through generous donations from folks in our community, the surrounding area, local businesses and the Green County Salvation Army, we are able to provide many households with gift boxes of food for the holidays. These are gifts from the hearts of special people who wish to share the warmth of friendship with others.
