In order to keep the prices in the food stand down, we are asking for hamburger donations for the taco meat that is used in the stand. If you are interested in donating (frozen)hamburger to the stand, please fill out this form. There are drop off locations available to make it as easy as possible. The Blue Hill location is TBD but if you are willing to be a drop off point for Blue Hill, please let Kaitlyn or Alexa know. Any questions, please call or text Kaitlyn at 308-289-3031.
