21 Thanksgiving boxes were handed out this year to our local Veterans, a testament to the incredible impact of community support. We are truly humbled by the outpouring of generosity for this program. Nancy and Tammy put the boxes together to have them ready to distribute, a shining example of kindness in action. Nice job ladies.

If you know of anyone that could use one of these, let us know. We also have a bunch of walkers as well
