PHOTOS: Season of giving

For several years, Jim Hammond, owner of Creekside Retreat, has donated $2,000 worth of gift cards to area schools, and this year was no exception. Pictured are Brown County Intermediate Principal Trent Austin, Sprunica Elementary Principal Shane Killinger, Creekside Retreat General Manager Vickie Blake, Helmsburg Elementary Principal Kelli Bruner and Van Buren Elementary Principal Gavin Steele. The money, split among the four schools, is used to buy Christmas presents and food for students who might not otherwise have a good Christmas, Blake said. Submitted photo

It’s the season of giving, and organizations around the county have contributed to ensure that kids in the community have a great holiday.
