As Christmas gets closer, here’s another good holiday deed.

This time, by the operators of the food pantry at Our Lady Queen of Heaven Church in Lake Charles.

For decades, the church has made community baskets for the needy.

On Wednesday, they gave some away.

Jim Beaugh said the church organizes the effort each year, twice a year.

“Twice a year, Thanksgiving and Christmas, we give out at least 100 boxes of food on the holiday and we go to Market Basket to buy each family a ham or a turkey,” Beaugh said.
