On behalf of the Cape Henlopen Food Basket volunteers and those we serve, I would like to send our thanks and gratitude to all the citizens of Lewes and Rehoboth who opened their heats and provided hundreds of bags of food for our mission. Our shelves are now, literally, filled from top to bottom.
Our local postal workers spearheaded this effort and they deserve a huge thank you, also.
During the first four month of 2013, we served a total of 1,000 households, which broken down, amounts to 2,000 adults and 900 children. So you see there is a real need in our community for your help.
Once, again, thank you to all.
Peggy Tappan

A letter to the editor expresses a reader's opinion and, as such, is not reflective of the editorial opinions of this newspaper.
To submit a letter to the editor for publishing, send an email to viewpoints@capegazette.com. All letters are considered at the discretion of the newsroom and published as space allows. Due to the large volume of submissions, we cannot acknowledge receipt of each submission. Letters must include a phone number and address for verification. Keep letters to 400 words or fewer. We reserve the right to edit for content or length. Letters should be responsive to issues addressed in the Cape Gazette rather than content from other publications or media. Letters should focus on local issues, not national topics or personalities. Only one letter per author will be published every 30 days regarding a particular topic. Authors may submit a second letter within that time period if it pertains to a different issue. Letters may not be critical of personalities or specific businesses. Criticism of public figures is permissible. Endorsement letters for political candidates are no longer accepted. Letters must be the author’s original work, and may not be generated by artificial intelligence tools. Templates, form letters and letters containing language similar to other submissions will not be published.
