Thank you for providing Thanksgiving meals | |
Thanks to the support of our generous community 453 client families received Thanksgiving meal packages full of ingredients and either a turkey or a gift card for a complete holiday meal. We are so thankful to our partners who made this happen! Without our caring volunteers and the fantastic support we receive from the community, there is no way this could have been achieved. Thank you, thank you, thank you! | |
