Human Relations Update

All month long, the Human Relations Committee is sponsoring a Spare Change Drive- We will be collecting spare change to benefit Services from the Heart Backpack Buddies program that provides food to students in our county that are at risk of experiencing food shortage over weekends and holiday breaks. Last time we were able to collect, we raised over $335 and we are hoping to beat that donation this year and collect at least $400. For every $150 collected, a weekly food backpack can be provided for a student for a whole semester! Let’s do our best to help those in need and bring in any spare change or cash that you can contribute.
