The West Ohio Food Bank makes sure that people have a good meal to enjoy over Christmas.  Employees, volunteers, and Santa and Mrs. Claus were all on hand to hand out meals to whoever wanted them.  Besides ready to heat and eat ham dinners, the food bank also gave out free pet food for people who asked for it.   This all started last year because they saw need locally that they were able to fill.
