From left are Major Robert Bender, Salvation Army Commander; Robin Vance and Susan Krantz, Kokosing employees; and Shirley Keller, SA case worker. There were 312 food items and $2,802 donated. For every dollar the employees contributed, Kokosing added $2. The company also contributed $1 for each food item.
