The Canadian Pacific Holiday Train made its first-ever stop in New Albin Sunday, December 4, where Canadian Pacific Railroad presented a $1,000 donation check to The Way Station. Monetary donations totaling another $545 and considerable food donations were also made to The Way Station by those in the fairly large crowd that attended the first-time event.

The Canadian Pacific Holiday Train also made its biannual stop in Lansing (pictured below right) Sunday, December 4, where Canadian Pacific presented a $4,000 donation check to the Allamakee County Food Shelf, and those in attendance donated $896 and 1,064 pounds of food to the Food Shelf as well. "We'd really like to thank all the people who came out and showed their love and support by donating in the spirit of the holiday season," expressed Wayne Burk and Ann Roed, Directors of the Allamakee County Food Shelf. "Their generosity makes it possible for us to continue to serve those most in need during the holiday season."
