Lovingston – Nelson County, Virginia
In the true spirit of Christmas, children got the chance to visit with Santa this past Saturday morning at The Nelson Food Pantry while folks who needed food this Christmas season were given a complete meal for this season. This year’s economy has been very tough on many families across Nelson and the need is greater now than ever.
Thanks to Olivia Ellis for sending a few pics our way!
