Angels of Action provides bags of food each Friday to more than 630 Elementary students throughout Mecosta County. But when those children go on Christmas break December 20th they may not have enough food at home to eat during the 14-day hiatus from school.

To help make sure those children are nourish, Angels of Action will be providing something a little extra special in the last bag of food before the holidays. The kids look forward to these extra treats in their bag.

Organizers are asking donors to participate in their Fill the Sleigh food drive, which is going on now through December 23. Nonperishiable food items can be dropped off inside the historic Nisbett Building in downtown Big Rapids, located at 210 Maple Street. Other donation sites include Chemical Bank's downtown and Perry Avenue locations, Coldwell Banker Schmidt and Complete Carpet and Restoration in Big Rapids, and Hixson's Family Market in Canadian Lakes.
