HUTCHINSON, Kan. — Because of these unusual times, Salthawk Community Support will not be able to do their traditional Angel Tree Project at Hutchinson High School or Hutchinson Middle School-8.
"We've decided probably the safest way to do it this year is to provide families with a Christmas box," said Nikkee Byard with SCS. "What we're going to do is we're going to offer families a box that will have a dinner from Dillons, which will be really neat, because it will have ham and stuffing and all the trimmings for Christmas dinner and then we're going to add in some food items and some hygiene items, just to try to help families get through the holidays."
The cost will be approximately $100 per box.
"We'll be thankful for large to small donations, everything helps," Byard said. "If you want to write out a check, you can make it out to Salthawk Community Support. That can go to Trinity United Methodist Church. They also have a website, you can donate there, that's safe. If you look at our Facebook page, all of the information, the address and that website is all on there."
You can mail a check to:

Salthawk Community Support hopes to help at least 130 families at Hutch High and HMS-8 this year.
