Between themoney and the food, I’m simplyoverwhelmed at the kindness andcompassion of HTC employees.It’s just so great when people inthe community and organizationslike HTC support local charities because without donations likethese, we would not be able toserve our community as we do.Everyone at the Shepherd’s Tableis grateful for the generosity andthank our friends at HTC for thegifts, love and most of all compas-sion shown for your fellowman,”said Dee Shearin, ExecutiveDirector for the Shepherd’s Tablethat serves an average of 80 peo- ple every evening in Conway.“The annual canned food andtoy drive is our way of sharing a portion of the good fortune we've been given with those less fortu-nate in our community. HTCemployees put forth so mucheffort through this food and toydrive in the hopes that the less for-tunate in our community will haveone less worry over the holidayseason,” said Glenda Page, HTCChief Executive-HumanResources.
