In case the PA Weekly and (Menlo) Almanac don't write an article this year (doesn't appear they did last year - 2014), I thought it might be useful to update some of the info in this article. If you can add any info please do. And please remember that these groups are always looking for extra volunteers to help feed the hungry on Thanksgiving and Christmas.
