More specifically, food items to purchase for individuals and families in need.

Plus, Bruce and David mention favorite charitable efforts and how they impact the North Country.

“You see it if you’re out in the community at all, which both of us are. You see the need. The agencies I’m most involved with are the (Watertown Urban) Mission and Salvation Army. You know, you see it every day and you start to wonder, ‘Well, can I do something? Even on a small scale?”
