I was very impressed with all of the business. This made for their fourth holiday season they have spent working with Svec. It gives us a chance to give back to the community. Tim Lyons said he just enjoys helping others. Svec said from Traverse City to Suttons Bay, Leelanau, Kingsley, Buckley and Mayfield, needy families were either picked up or brought food and clothing.
Volunteers are always eager to help.
Svec said there were so many people hoping to help, there wasn't enough work to go around. Volunteers set up tables, cooked, prepared decoration for the room, washed dishes and even sang and played musical instruments during the dinner. Svec said she hopes people remember that homeless and needy people don't just disappear after the holidays. This needs to be done all year around. We need to have a follow-up to see how these families are doing.
