Brentwood Regional Community Chest volunteers distributed 40 tons of food and 3,000 toys last weekend. Above, the ceremonial ribbon is cut during Friday’s proceedings. Chamber of Commerce ambassadors hold the ribbon as BRCC co-presidents Kevin King (scissors) and Dana Eaton (ready to assist in case Kevin can’t hack it) do the honors. Also pictured are Gloria King, Jenn Derkson, Julie Hill, Mike Davies, Dirk Zeigler, Lill Pierce, Rusty Erlich, Craig Bronzan, Rick Lemyre and Mike Currier. A few key members are missing from the picture because they wouldn’t stop working for the photo op, and the Marine Corps League Detachment 1155 in Brentwood and the Corps’ Toys for Tots program had already done their part.

The annual Brentwood Regional Community Chest Christmas Basket (BRCC) program took over Brentwood Elementary last weekend, providing more than 550 local families with food and toys for Christmas.

Organizers said that, as usual, support for the effort established by Rose Pierce more than 35 years ago was so great that the BRCC was able to provide assistance to other local efforts as well.

All together, more than 40 tons of food and 3,000 toys were distributed by the BRCC this year, but to get a sense of how it all actually went, please click through the accompanying slide show.
