Donations needed for Baskets

By Sam Waller

Applications for the Albany Ministerial Alliance’s Christmas Basket program are down slightly this year, according to Alliance secretary Tisha Wilkins.

Wilkins said the Alliance received 92 applications this year, the first time since 2018 the number has been below 100. In 2021, 119 baskets were delivered, the most ever.

The annual food drive strives to provide boxes filled with the ingredients needed for a traditional holiday meal to families in need of assistance.

Baskets will be distributed at 2:00 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 18. Moran recipients can pick up their baskets at 3:00 p.m. that day at First Baptist Church of Moran.

Baskets for Vittles by Vehicles recipients  will be delivered Monday, Dec. 19, with their meal.

Donations for the holiday meals can be handed to any ministers in the Alliance or mailed to the Ministerial Alliance at PO Box 3084, Albany, Texas 76430.
