SaddleBrooke Community Outreach (SBCO) has two teams working on providing Thanksgiving baskets to local families. The SaddleBrooke Ranch team, consisting of 18 volunteers, including six students, delivered 40 baskets to San Manuel High School. Ranch volunteers included co-chairs Anthony Signorelli and Tim Bowen, Lu Legel, Susan Knight, Vida Kaczmarek, Jeff Kaczmarek, Gretchen Annan, Marie Mantoura., Don Cox, Charlie Weimer, Mike Johnson, Rich Lovett, and Dianne Signorelli. The SaddleBrooke Ranch team delivered their baskets on Friday, Nov. 21. The SaddleBrooke team provided 62 baskets to Oracle. SaddleBrooke’s seven volunteers included co-chairs Mark Liefke and Mona Sullivan, Michael Pillman, Eileen Snearly, Len Hamer and Golden Goose truck drivers David Hill and Barry Emmons and The Kids Closet van drivers Karen and Mark Adamson. The SaddleBrooke team prepared and delivered their baskets on Monday, Nov. 24. The volunteers from both teams fi lled laundry baskets with the food items typically needed for a Thanksgiving meal, including apples, sweet potatoes, cranberry sauce, potatoes, onions, green beans, corn, stuffi ng, rolls, pumpkin pie, Cool Whip, and a large turkey. Laundry baskets are used because they provide a sturdy container that can then become a useful household item. Then the volunteers delivered the fi lled baskets to the designated locations. In all, SBCO provided a turkey and all the trimmings to 102 families in San Manuel and Oracle
