Christmie Racine, 7, moves boxes of mashed potatoes past bags packed with food in the Salvation Army warehouse on U.S. 41 East in Naples Tuesday afternoon. Christmie is one of a group of kids in the Salvation Army's after-school program, as well as daily volunteers, who have packed 1,600 bags of food in preparation for Christmas. Maj. Carmen Damon with the Salvation Army says they also will give away 300 bags of food prepared for Thanksgiving to registered families. The after-school program includes 45 kids, many of whom receive bags of food. Damon says they have the kids help with the project so they learn the importance of giving, in addition to receiving.
