Mountain Mission prepares to distribute food baskets this weekend

Mountain Mission is preparing to help more than a thousand preregistered families put food on the table this holiday season. The group’s annual Christmas Food Basket Distribution is set for Saturday, December 13, from 8 a.m. to noon. The drive-thru event will be held at Mountain Mission’s Seventh Avenue location near Patrick Street in Charleston. The program, now in its 99th year, provides complete Christmas meals to families in need. All recipients registered earlier in the fall and met income and household requirements.
