What's Happening this Month?
This month, we are working towards making a difference in our community by collecting food and toys for GRACE. Last year, GRACE was able to provide 424 Thanksgiving meals and 412 Christmas meals to families in need. The estimated value of each food basket is $88.00. If you or or someone you know needs assistance this holiday season, please contact me!
