of food to hand
out to those In need, and that nobody should have to go without a good
Thanksgiving din-
ner. With donations coming in from many places, including the upcoming food
drives by the
Newcastle Middle School Student Council and Stuff the Bus, the shelves and
refrigerators
are full, and they will be fully prepared for the expected rush of people
needing food. All the
workers at BREAD Inc. volunteer their time to make sure that people who
need help can get
it. Pictured is Kristi Knight, who has worked at BREAD Inc. for two years.

deep, and helping to make sure
that nobody is going to starve.
Among them is the Newcastle
Middle'School student council,
under the supervision of Leslie
Morris. For the past two years,
the council has sponsored a
food drive to help those in
need. Morris says that, in a
way, they have it structured to
make it sort of like a competi-
tion with others who collect
food, helping to foster a go-
get-’em attitude that has made
the drives a great success in the
past. She is excited to see it this
year as well.
“Last year we collected
over 600 items,” Morris said,
“That put us as the greatest
contributor for-the Stuff The»
Bus drive.”
Troy Alien, head of the"
school’s transportation depart-
ment, which runs Stuff the
Bus, is also working hard to
supply the community with
food for Thanksgiving. He is
also looking forward to seeing
if the middle school can be the
most significant contributor
again this year.
“We have boxes at the
elementary, middle and high
schools that the students and
teachers can donate to,” Allen
said. He also indicated that they
are working to have boxes set
up at Woody’s Food Center and
Decker’s Market and possibly

The dates for the Stuff the Bus
food drive are Nov. 16-20.
Morris also said that afier
the food drive is over, student
council members will deliver
and work with BREAD.
“That allows the kids to see
how the BREAD office works,”
Morris said. She feels this is a,
good“ experience for. the stu-
dents and gives them a heart for
those who need help.
Ken Pitlick runs the BREAD
office. He says that the food
pantry is doing very well and
continues to be stocked up on.
food supplies, toiletries and
some medical supplies.
“We’ve been very fortunate
to have a lot of donations,”
Pitlick said, “We have a lot of
food for the rush that happens
at Thanksgiving.”
He also indicated that
another truck from Denver was
coming in the next day or two.
He feels that they are set up
to service Newcastle, not just
with food but also with the
volunteers who give their time
to help the community.
One such person is Kristi
Knight, who has been volun-
teering for a couple of years
now. She loves the work and
says that it is her favorite thing
she does.
“I love that I can help
people when they need it the
most,”, she said, as she was
sorting through bags, getting
them prepared to load with food
for people.
Pitlick said that while it’s
been a year that the need is
more significant than it has
been in the past, BREAD can
still supply the needs of those
