Tis the season of caring and sharing. Please think about donating your cans and bottles to the Hoosier Hopefuls Relay for Life team, raising money for the American Cancer Society. Drop off your donations to the Nickelback Redemption Center on lower Carey Avenue in Hoosick Falls or call Terri Burdick, 518-686-7851, for pick-ups. An easy way is also to donate just one part of your own as you redeem. It’s a great way to help a great cause.
