Barry and Linda Miles, of Cumberland, along with Annie May Miles, of Dillwyn, visited the homes of Lyn and Denise Hill and Betty Atkins, of Farmville, on Saturday. A nice visit was had by all.

The Cumberland County Community Food Bank, partnering with the Central Virginia Food Bank, a FeedMore Program, of Richmond, will be distributing food to Cumberland County residents, including Cartersville residents, on Monday from noon until all food is gone at the old Cumberland County Elementary School cafeteria next door to the gym, located at 1874 Anderson Highway.

You must have already registered to get food or you must see director Jerry Seal. All food recipients are asked to bring bags.

Also, on Monday, you may apply for USDA foods if you have not already done so. Those of you who have already applied and have been approved will be able to pick up your USDA food along with your other regular food.
