Christmas is the best time of the year for giving is better than receiving. This held true for a community organization known as Small Seeds Development Inc., located at 204 N. Highland Ave. in East Liberty.
On Dec.19, at St. James AME Church, 444 Lincoln Ave., this caring and compassionate organization held its Mother to Son holiday dinner celebration.
