All the Trimmings

By early this week, the Salvation Army in Torrance had filled two garages with canned food donated by individuals, businesses and service organizations, including Epson America, Del Amo Fashion Center, Kiwanis and Rotary clubs, local schools and Scouting and YMCA groups. The food, collected by city workers, will be distributed to about 150 needy families before Christmas Day. Other South Bay groups are helping the needy this holiday season. Among them are students at Peninsula Heritage School, who collected canned food, toys and candy for the “Feed My People” program at Rolling Hills Covenant Church, and the Sandpipers, a philanthropic organization that expects to assist 43 families, including 131 children, with donations of food, toys, clothes and money.
