Jefferson County Labor Club Christmas party doubles as food drive for the Arnold Food Pantry

A SEASON OF GIVING: Canned goods, gift cards and cash for the Arnold Food Pantry surround the Christmas tree at the Jefferson County Labor Club’s holiday party Dec. 12. The event was held at the club, located at 4 Main St. in Festus. Phil Amato (with the mask), the food pantry’s board president, and Butch Cooley (not pictured) were on hand at the party to accept the donations. Amato is the representative-elect for Missouri House District 113. The Arnold Food Pantry is a 501c3 charity, assisting families and individuals in need who reside in Arnold and portions of Imperial and Fenton.      – Labor Tribune photo
