“We knew that a lot of it had to deal with not getting vitamins and things like that. So we decided to put together these dairy products, which contain a brick of cheese, butter, milk, eggs and yogurt, just to help offset the need,” she explained.

“I know that the holidays are really hard on people, so maybe it’ll make a bit of a difference,” Standinghorn noted.

Erin Katerynych, the executive director of BDFRC, said she was surprised when she saw the donation.

“I had no idea it was going to be that much dairy. We are so blessed to have wonderful people such as Nikki and Ed [Standinghorn’s husband] in our community who give back to the community,” she noted.

She went on to note that they would give all the food to their clients in the coming days before they closed down to prepare for their Christmas programs.

“We have so many people that will be coming to access it on the 16th, 17th and 18th, as well as the 13th, it’ll all go.”

“People are hungry, and the cost of living is just going up, so we really appreciate this, and so will the people that are getting it,” Katerynych noted.
