Open sessions are every Wednesday, 8:30 am and 5:30 pm and staying open until all on line are served. Johnsonville sausage is available at each session as well as sundry items including toilet paper and paper towel in our "bonus box" which are in addition to the normal fare. At holiday time there are gifts for the children from our "Heart Tree" at Lakewood Super Valu, and hams, turkeys, and fresh vegetables.  Registration for the Heart Tree gifts is during October and November thru Thanksgiving week.
