OGDEN — Employees from the Bank of Utah hope the delivery they made to the Lantern House on Tuesday will warm both the bodies and souls of those in need.

WOODS CROSS — Murdock Chevrolet is working to give back to the community by collecting donations for the Bountiful Community Food Pantry.

A Mayflower Moving Van semitrailer is parked in front of the car dealership in hopes that the community will fill it with 25,000 pounds of food and warm clothing to be donated to the organization that serves families from North Salt Lake to Farmington.

This letter from the sisters of Mount Benedict Monastery in South Ogden was scheduled to be mailed out to the community this week:

Dear Friends of the St. Benedict’s Foundation and Monastery:

SOUTH OGDEN — The sisters at Mount Benedict Monastery are holding one final fundraiser before they leave the area, and they are hoping many local residents will participate.

Once their monastery is sold, the sisters and their foundation will move to St. Joseph, Minn., they announced this week. Over a 10-year period, the foundation’s $5 million in holdings will be passed through United Way of Northern Utah and the Catholic Diocese of Salt Lake City for disbursement to 18 nonprofit agencies that serve women and children.

The last fundraiser will be the 27th annual Christmas Grove, which is a way for residents to honor those in the community who have made a difference or who have died.

I’m torn.

OGDEN — Ogden residents, business and community leaders are preparing to “do time” for the March of Dimes, and Utah babies will benefit.

The “Jail & Bail” community fundraiser will take place at 11 a.m. Wednesday at Union Station, 2501 Wall Ave.

Participants are challenged to raise their “bail” by asking for donations from friends, family and business associates.

OGDEN — The 9th annual Mount Ogden Rotary Rubber Duck race will be held at noon Saturday.
