Those families made an additional $2,500 in donations to take our total to $6,500 in one week.
Thank you so much to all of our volunteers. Katie LaPlante organized the drive, and had the support of Tim Beshel, Margaret Cabell, Michelle McEwan, Karla Hernandez, Tara Hackman, Tiffany Ehming, John Botzman, Lisa Waldmann, Aaron Rose, and Jamey Cabell.
