"This ix an excellent town. tt's very sup- porlive and generous," she said. "I've worked in other towns and here people really care." Although demand remained constant, 207 food hampers were handed out over Christmas, down 13 from the previous year's tally. That isn't a sign that the grinch has moved mbt Milton, cautioned Ms Roux. "tt's flot unusual," xhe xaid. "Nol every- one took bampers. If they were going xomewhere wilh a lurkey dinner lhey didn'î take one."
