Thanksgiving baskets provide dinner for more than 700

DeKALB – It’s been a rough couple of years for the Newton family.

Lynette Widman lost her job as a warehouse worker and lost her apartment, so she moved in with her daughter Tiffany Newton, her husband and their 3-year-old daughter.

However, Newton’s husband also lost his job as a machinist at Nehring Electrical. Now, the only income they have is Newton’s 16-hours-a-week job at a Dollar General store and Widman’s unemployment benefits.
