Saline Area Social Service is busy helping our community as more people hit the unemployment lines because of the COVID-19 orders.
Here are five ways you can help Saline Area Social Service help our community today, Dec. 12.
Support the National Honor Society Food Drive
If the Saline High School National Honor Society dropped a bag on your porch, load the bag with non-perishable food items by 9 a.m. Saturday. Students will collect the donations between 10 a.m. and noon.
Shop for the Pantry
Each week, SASS releases a shopping list and asks people to pick up goods to help keep the pantry stocked. This weeks shopping list features toilet paper, condensed milk, evaporated milk, canned pie filling, jello, pudding, sloppy joe sauce, and pasta and alfredo sauce.

Sunny, with a high of 63 and low of 32 degrees. Sunny in the morning, overcast in the afternoon and evening, clear overnight.
Nice idea. Thank you to the kids who support this. Seems a bit of diversity in the make-up of the kids leading the group would go a long way to making "everyone" feel welcome. Sadly, not seeing it, at least in what is presented here.
Awful, racist perspective. There is nothing wrong with the "make-up" of these four kids.
Not saying there is anything wrong with those four kids. Really appreciate what they are doing and think it is great. Hardly find it racist to think having folks representative of other "groups" leading the group would go even further to making everyone feel welcome.
As we noticed the rapid deterioration and indentation of the road from all of this truck traffic, which presumably will only get worse as the weather and road surface gets warmer, we have wondered just who is responsible for the cost to repair/replace these roads?
Did anyone ask the nearby residents if they want a party palace in their neighborhood? Traffic, parking, crowds, trash, noise: was any of this considered when making this decision?
The organizers are required to submit an application to the City of Saline for this event. If you wish to provide input, comments can be sent to the City Clerk or made in person at anytime or more specifically when their application appears on the council agenda.
Providing input just like the data center had input given. When a decision is made around here, it has already been made.
