There was an update from our civic organizations last week as well as from our schools today, with the following to report:
The Lions
: Currently freezing all donations as their charitable gambling has ceased due to closure of restaurants.
Food Shelf
: They have changed their operation to shop for people vs people shopping themselves to keep only volunteers in the building. They are in need of volunteers so let them know.
