THANK YOU to our generous community and business partner US Foods for a contribution of $1550 from your annual charitable fund drive! Your support enables us to help the most vulnerable families and individuals in our community. With the increased cost of basic needs such as food and housing, even a one-time trip to a food pantry can prevent a family from going without heat, medication, or adequate transportation.
