By MARY ANN LARKIN, T&D Correspondent Monday, December 29, 2008SANTEE - Residents of Bradford Village in Santee donated money to purchase hams as well as other food items to be distributed to some older residents for the holidays.

Chief Edward Barnett of the Santee Fire District coordinated the distribution.
