We will be holding a donation drive up until Christmas morning at our SLC gym for our at-risk youth. We are asking for needed items such as: shampoo, conditioner, toothbrush, toothpaste, lotion, nail clippers, boots, coats, socks & underwear to create hygiene stockings. We will meet at the gym Christmas morning beginning at 8AM to deliver the stockings.
