Polk County nonprofit thanks commissioners after holiday drive that served ~500 families
Summary
Warren Lamb, president of the board of Christmas Cheer, thanked Polk County commissioners and fairgrounds staff for supporting the organization's effort to provide food boxes to roughly 500 families; he said more than 400 volunteers participated.
Warren Lamb, identified in the transcript as president of the board of Christmas Cheer, used the Jan. 7 public-comment period to thank Polk County commissioners and fairgrounds staff for support and space at the Fairgrounds Building.
Lamb said Christmas Cheer, in its 59th year of operation, provided food boxes for about 500 families across Polk County and nearby communities and that more than 400 volunteers helped pack donated and purchased items. He singled out fairgrounds staff, including Tina Anderson, for assistance.
Lamb noted a minor hiccup—"somebody stuck some tape on one of the walls"—but said the event went well overall and expressed appreciation for county support. Commissioners responded with thanks and praise for the volunteers and community participation.
The public comment concluded without formal action; it was recorded in the meeting minutes and acknowledged by the board.
