For many years, George Auten, longtime Sullivan resident and business owner, has been making laundry detergent soap for the CEFS office which oversees the local food pantry. Auten has dedicated his time and resources to provide for those in need in our county.

Auten, who has made a countless number of bottles of soap over the years, has recently retired from soap making which has left a void for the Sullivan Food Pantry.

The group Persistent Voices has stepped up to fill this void. The goals of the Persistent Voices are to help community members and address concerns about health care, education, jobs, environment and community awareness.      Login or Subscribe to read the rest of this story.
