I volunteer both my time (passing out food during distribution and greeting people) and my photography to the worthy non-profit, Project Share of Carlisle (my local food bank). I have volunteered there since 2009 after I moved to Carlisle from Harrisburg. Below are photos I took for them at their holiday dinner event where they serve a huge meal to hundreds of people during two different serving times on the same night. They had food, music, Santa and Mrs. Clause for the kids who all got to tell of their wishes and got a small gift. It's just a wonderful sight to see. Please consider donating to this worthy cause. You can do so by clicking on the link "Project Share of Carlisle" above and they are always in need of volunteers or food and supply donations. Thanks so much for your help, Lizzie

food 30 years ago out of the trunk of her car. She has been
changing lives ever since.
