Women Making Gift Packages
| Three unidentified women (employees or volunteers) possibly at and possibly from radio station WIBA, making up Christmas gift packages of candy, nuts, and toys, to be given to homeless children. Boxes and cans with the Butternut Coffee label are piled in the foreground; these were probably donation containers used to collect the Butternut Coffee labels which were part of the collection campaign promoted by station WIBA. |
