Monmouth Memorial School student government leaders race Friday to carry food from a bus to a warehouse for the annual Cottrell-Taylor Christmas Basket Fund. For more than 60 years, the Monmouth drive has collected food, clothing and gifts to help neighbors during the holidays, with students at the elementary and middle schools assembling the donations that volunteers distribute. The community furnished enough food to sustain recipients through the entire holiday break from school, volunteers say. Chief Dan Roy of the Monmouth Fire Department provided the Cottrell-Taylor Christmas Basket Fund space to store and organize the donations at a warehouse he owns for his business.
