The gentlemen of the Ottoville VFW recently presented a check for $5,000 to Fr. Randy Giesige, Pastor at St. Mary Church in Leipsic, to be used to help purchase items for those hardest hit by Hurricane Helene in North Carolina. This year, for St. Mary’s Advent Service Project they have been collecting presents for children and other items for the Christmas Angel Program to support victims in Buncombe County. December 8 is the last day for the collection of donations, and if anyone has questions on how they can help, Fr. Randy can be reached at 419-943-2688. (submitted photo)
