McNans Variety Foods, which has heroically not raised prices over the past 2+ years of the pandemic, took another hit when both Michael and Nancy got Covid just before the holidays (it was Nancy’s second bout). On the heels of several lean years, they had to close the store for a week, throw out perishables, and cancel big catering jobs. They’ve helped so many of us in Philmont over the years—through ups and downs, big celebrations and small, all the while making sandwiches and Sunday Dinners and keeping our spirits high and our bellies happy and full. During this holiday season, can we help their business recover from Covid? No donation is too small. “It takes a village,” as Nancy says.
