To the editor:

Good will is abundant in Manlius. This past week, neighbors of Memory Lane Park joined hands and hearts to organize its eighth annual food drive to benefit FM Community Outreach, a food pantry that serves more than 350 families right in our own backyard. I was touched by the kindness and generosity of those who donated canned goods and other food items to help make the holidays a little nicer for so many of our fellow community members. Heartfelt thanks to everyone.
