We're putting the show on-line early this week because Thurs., Dec. 18, is the start of the 13th annual Community Holiday Haul in Jamestown to benefit the St. Susan's Center and it's mission to feed the hungry. St. Susan's Executive Director Cherie Rowland, and Haul Organizer, Dan Keefe join our Terry Frank to discuss the drive's objective, and how residents can help out. The event is being held a little later this year, according to Keefe to coincide more with the holiday season. It's running today (Thurs.) Dec. 18 through Sat., Dec. 20, 2025. Hours at the Jamestown Cycle Shop parking lot will be 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. both Thursday and Saturday, and from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday, Dec. 20. Keefe says a pre-haul drive at Cummins' Jamestown Engine Plant helped to jump start the effort in November, bring in thousands of pounds of food and several thousand dollars in cash. Residents can stop by anytime during the hours listed to bring non-perishable food items, or monetary donations to St. Susan's. Rowland says the need remains great in the community, even though SNAP benefits have resumed after the government shut-down. The monetary donations are important because that allows them to by perishable items they need right away like milk. For more information... contact the St. Susan's Center at (716) 664-2253.
