Home for the Holidays helped support the Warwick Ecumenical Council's Food Pantry

WARWICK — The icing on the cake at the conclusion of another successful Home for the Holidays was the extraordinary success of this year's Angel Tree for people who wish to help the Warwick Ecumenical Food Pantry.
The Angel Tree, long a holiday tradition and newly refurbished, this year again, graced the fence between Akin's and Newhard's.
The tree benefits the Warwick Ecumenical Food Pantry and the families it serves. Passers-by are urged to take a tag and purchase a suggested gift or supermarket gift card or take a pledge tag and make a monetary donation to the food pantry.
This year's Angel Tree Committee members were Eileen Paterson, Kim Corkum Cindy Vanderplaat, Betsy Mitchell, Olivia Quinones and Susan and Glenn Dickes who is also director of the Warwick Ecumenical Food Pantry.
"The Angel Tree yielded toys, apparel accessories and supermarket gift cards for our families, as well as monetary donations which will help keep the shelves stocked into the winter," Dickes reported. "Together with our direct appeals, the Angel Tree helped us have a banner holiday season. I am truly grateful for the bounty bestowed upon the pantry."
