Successful Fundraiser at Bratfest

We had another very successful year fundraising at Bratfest over Memorial Day weekend. Thanks to 24 volunteers working 116.75 hours we were able to raise $1,3995 for our Blessing Bag Rice Meal packing event in September.

Thank you to all who gave their time to this event to raise money for our mission.
