Orange Community Services is preparing for the holidays and requests help from Orange residents.
We’ll start with the one thing everyone is familiar with, non-perishable food items. This is the time of year the shelves in the food closet begin to go bare and donations are desperately needed.
As we previously reported, Scout Troop 60724 has a collection box set up at High Plains for food pantry donations. These items will go to the Town Food Closet.
