Holiday Help

We have many local groups who have reached out to assist families with the holidays. If your family could benefit or you know of a family who could benefit from extra support for Thanksgiving and/or Christmas, please reach out to our counselor, Mrs. Bridgewater. All requests are handled with care and confidentiality.
