Steve and Rhiannon stopped by Borgida and Company, P.C. in Manchester this morning to make a donation to their 13th annual food drive benefitting the M.A.C.C. Community Food Pantry. After a few laps around the supermarket and some in-store, dry run construction, they ultimately erected a Christmas tree topped fireplace made entirely of cereal and pasta boxes–a truly festive donation!
