THANK YOU AMADOR PLAZA ! THANK YOU AMADOR COUNTY !
We did it! The challenge was made and you answered the
call. Amador Plaza merchants put the frosting on the
cake at 2:00 pm [Saturday]. The Interfaith Food Bank was presented with a $10,000.00
check from an anonymous donor, matching the $10,000.00 raised by our community.
Thank you to everyone for your continued support. These
funds will provide a great beginning for the new year because "Hunger
doesn't end with the holidays".
Merry Christmas Amador County !
Thanks again,
