Holiday helping begins

The Newnan

Junior Service League is once again teaming up with the Newnan Food Pantry

to bring holiday cheer to the county's families in need.

A tradition

in Coweta County, this year's Can-a-Thon is set for Nov.28 from 8 a.m.-6

p.m. The goal for this year is 125,000 cans, which is 5,000 more than

last year, said Stephanie Smith, chair for the Can-A-Thon and Christmas

in Newnan.

"Last

year, with the community's support, we were able to help 200 families

in need, including the elderly and we are planning on assisting the same

number again this year. We are lucky to have the support of the community

and many businesses in Coweta County, which makes our efforts a continued

success year after year," she said.

Donations are

being accepted at the Court Square in Newnan.
