Those donations of food will help provide meals for hundreds of men, women and children," said Haven of Rest Donor Relations Coordinator Mike Solosky "The majority of the food the Haven of Rest serves has been donated by many generous businesses, groups, organizations and individuals in our community and is truly a blessing to those we assist."
