The Oskaloosa Rotary is preparing for its annual Christmas Food Basket program.  Oskaloosa Rotary Vice President Eddie Pierson tells us how to sign up.

“People can get their applications for the Christmas Food Basket at multiple public agencies such as the Department of Human Services, Sieda, United Way, the South Central Iowa Center for Independent Living.  They can also get the application for the Christmas Food Basket in the Oskaloosa Shopper.”

The deadline to sign up is next Friday, November 13.  The Oskaloosa Rotary will give out the food baskets December 5 at United Methodist Church.  Pierson says the Oskaloosa Rotary gave out around 550 Christmas food baskets last year.
