The holidays will be a bit brighter for area families in need of food and gifts.
Sussex-Area Outreach Services has joined forces with Saint James Church for the 20th year to distribute Christmas joy to area families in need. Between a hefty holiday meal, children’s clothes and toys for kids of any age, Jennifer Waltz, the Director of SOS, is thankful for the community's gracious aid during the Christmas season. “These are all donated new toys and clothes, and so far, this is just a small portion donations,” Waltz said. “Kids from Willow Springs just came over with bags of toys, and people are continuing to bring more stuff from our office.” Between anonymous donations, gifts from three Joy Trees in Sussex and donations from area churches, food and gifts are literally piled in the basement of St. James Church waiting to…

While most people were busy cooking their turkeys and making final preparations for Thanksgiving, Erin and Jim Naatz, owners of Sussex’s Fitness Revolution, were preparing for a different kind of gathering. Each year the fitness center holds its Annual Turkey Day Boot Camp Workout, a fundraiser for Sussex-Area Outreach Services in honor of Thanksgiving. This year over 60 people registered in the first 24 hours prompting Naatz to add additional classes. “We had just under 90 people participate this year,” Naatz said. However, rather than accepting cash or non-perishable food items to benefit the pantry, Fitness Revolution asked for grocery store gift cards. Naatz said her business raised $1,000 in area gift cards that will not only …

Food pantry and assistance center welcomes its new executive director, and she’s planning on making sure its tremendous service lives on.
It’s more than just a food pantry. Sussex-Area Outreach Services (SOS) provides clothing, toys, programs and all around assistance to anyone who needs it, and the important resource is welcoming its brand new executive director. Jennifer Waltz has been living in Sussex for four years as a social worker before taking the reigns at SOS on Oct. 17. However, even with her years of experience, this job isn’t going to be a cakewalk. The outreach center serves more than 500 households in the surrounding communities, almost 400 percent more than just five years ago. Waltz still remains positive, and she’s quickly learning the how generous Sussex truly is. “It’s going really well so far,” Waltz said. “I find we have this amazing pool of volunteers …
