Shepard's first-ever Pack The Place was a success! Thanks to everyone's participation, they were able to raise $1,000 for the 100 Club of Illinois. The 100 Club provides resources to both the families of first responders killed in the line of duty and active duty first responders. Such a fun event for a great cause. Thank you to everyone who came out!
