I hope all is well and safe with you! I wanted to give you an update on our Virtual Food Drive. We've collected 90% of our goal! Thank you to all who have donated thus far! It will go a long way in feeding those in need, especially during these tough times. We would love to exceed our goal! If you've already donated, please feel free to share this with your network. If you haven't done so already, please click on the link below and make a donation towards this worthy cause. According to Feeding America, $1 = 10 meals.
|
If you are not able to donate online, we are accepting checks. We've collected a few offline donations already. Please contact GK Vinny or me for the PO BOX address to send a check.
|
Thank you all for your time and support! I want to wish you and your families Happy Easter! God Bless!
