We were sorry to hear of the passing away of Evelyth Wohlk. Evelyth Wohlk, 101, of Garrison, formerly of Ryder, passed away on Dec. 17, 2020 at the Garrison Hospital. She is survived by sons, Delroy Wohlk (Marilyn) of Underwood, Gorlyn Wohlk of Douglas, Lydell (Wendy) of Ryder, 9 grandchildren and 23 great grandchildren, sister, Madelyn Johnson of California and numerous nieces and nephews. My deepest sympathy goes out to her family and friends.

| Food Boxes prepared for the Dec. 18th drive by pickup at Ryder’s Food Pantry. |
The Community Food Pantry was blessed with a pallet of food from Krause Grocery Store Monday!
Krause Grocery is a main supporter of the Food Pantry. Bless them!! The picture above from the Krause donation is what the food boxes looked like for their drive by pick up on December 18th from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m.,
Jody Reinisch saved the day by coming and unloading the pallet to the ground from Amber Ouellette's truck. A shout out to Amber for her truck and help. We could not have done it without the help of our volunteers, Amber, Roxeanne, Dave, PJ, Christa, and Kathy. All sent by our Father!
The Food Pantry now needs donations to restock the shelves!! This pandemic has been a push to keep much needed food available. We also had children's books donated for our boxes by the YWCA for the kids, and blankets donated by the United Way! More Earth Angels who have helped fill our food boxes this month. Praise! Praise!
Judy Kimball, (Richard Kimball's wife), injured her bionic knee when she fell in her home a few weeks ago. Then, even with the leg brace and walker, that knee gave out again! Her Doctor said no more! And sent her to have that knee replacement replaced! Give her a big Get Well! And let Richard do the cooking!!
