Empty Stocking Fund deadline approaching for Christmas food

Walker County families seeking assistance through the LaFayette Area Empty Stocking Fund's annual Christmas Dinner food distribution program have until Monday, Nov. 30, to submit an application. Now in its 52nd year, the volunteer-run organization has increased the amount of food available for distribution this year. However, families must meet the application deadline to be considered. kAmpAA=:42E:@?D 2C6 2G2:=23=6 2E D6G6C2= =@42E:@?D E9C@F89@FE (2=<6C r@F?EJ[ :?4=F5:?8 E96 s6A2CE>6?E @7 u2>:=J 2?5 r9:=5C6? $6CG:46D Wsur$X :? #@4< $AC:?8[ E96 {2u2J6EE6 w@FD:?8 pFE9@C:EJ[ E96 (2=<6C r@F?EJ w62=E9 s6A2CE>6?E 2?5 2== (2=<6C r@F?EJ =:3C2C:6D]k^Am kAmr@>A=6E65 2AA=:42E:@?D D9@F=5 36 C6EFC?65 E@ @?6 @7 E9@D6 =@42E:@?D] pAA=:42E:@?D >2J 2=D@ 36 C6BF6DE65 3J 6>2:=:?8 k2 9C67lQ>2:=E@i=272J6EE62C626>AEJDE@4<:?87F?5o8>2:=]4@>Qm=272J6EE62C626>AEJDE@4<:?87F?5o8>2:=]4@>k^2m]k^Am kAm~?=J @?6 2AA=:42E:@?
