In this season of giving, several local companies and their employees are doing their part.

On December 14 and 15, C & A Industries in Omaha held a food drive to benefit the Heartland Chapter's Emergency food pantry. Dozens and dozens of boxes of canned goods were donated to help serve a growing number of families in the metro area who've turned to the Red Cross for help in the past few months.

Last month the food pantry received a "boost" from the Lancers Hockey Booster Club.

In addition to a cash donation, the club collected two carloads of canned goods from hockey fans. All the food will be used to serve local people in need.
