POTTSTOWN >> Several needy families in the Pottstown area will eat better during the holidays thanks to St. Michael’s Ukranian Catholic Church.

Volunteer Rose Mary said the church’s pastor, The Rev. Ihor Royik, suggested the church do a food drive for the holidays.

“We’re a small church, but we collected food donations for two or three weeks,” Mary said of the church on West Walnut Street.

The food was delivered Wednesday, Dec. 19, to The Salvation Army in Pottstown for distributi­on.
