Food Deliveries Continue for OSSB Families

OSD and OSSB are excited to wrap up 2020 with one additional food delivery! All families should be receiving meals as they did this week, but double meals! Families who live outside of Franklin County should expect meals on Tuesday the 15th in the morning or early afternoon. Local Families will receive meals on the Wednesday, December 16th - and if we should miss anyone, don't worry! We have a fantastic team ready to do make-up deliveries on December 17th and 18th. ~ Jason Franklin
