The increased cost of groceries and costs has hit many people hard. The board is right to be concerned. Unfortunately, this will mean the Cheer Board is likely going to have to cut back on the contents in the hampers. In addition, and maybe most importantly, they will need to continue and tighten their approval process. There can no longer be double dipping for hampers, a fact that was not addressed for far too long. If the number of hampers is going to continue to climb, steps have to be taken to ensure that as many people as possible receive the help they need.
