WARREN/CENTER LINE/STERLING HEIGHTS As 2020 comes to a close with COVID-19 on everyone’s mind, some aren’t feeling the Christmas spirit.
Families are struggling financially due to loss of income or employment because of the pandemic.

Last month, Academy of Warren staff members provided 10 school families with a Thanksgiving dinner in which faculty donated nonperishable and canned foods.

The families picked up their dinners Nov. 20 and also received food from the Gleaners Mobile Pantry.

I know it s not one in a million, but that s how it feels, one in a million, especially because I m in Gary and they really don t expect much out of us, but â Brown said, breaking off in tears.
