November 2022
We took up collection for Toys for Tots during the month of November and had a really nice turn-out with donations! Thank you everyone that contributed to this holiday season's community outreach project. This year has taken its toll on so many families and inflation hasn't helped the situation. I know it can be a greater burden on families to give their children the Christmas they deserve, and this organizations helps allieviate a little bit of those holiday pressures. Happy Holidays everyone!
