The Christmas Cheer Board is back up and running, just in time for the holiday season.

The long-running social service said Wednesday that it was able to reopen this week — with COVID-19 precautions — to continue mailing out food vouchers and offer its Feed-a-Family hamper sponsorship program.

“We know this is very welcome news to all of us who understand we are an integral part of truly making a difference in the lives of many less fortunate in our community,” the Cheer Board said in a release.
