Dress Down for Buffalo
Thank you to everyone who donated to the Buffalo Dress Down Day. Our DeSales community came together to show our love and support for Buffalo. We gathered baby items and paper products for Buffalo. We also raised $531 which was used to purchase more baby items and hygiene products.
As we move forward in the days and weeks ahead, we continue to pray for unity in ending racism and violence.
