Gala

Oct 28, 2024 By

With a heart full of gratitude thank you to everyone who attended our Fall Harvest Gala. The food was delicious and the evening was a huge success. Without the support of this community, we couldn’t continue to fulfill our mission of providing for the nutritional needs of our neighbors.

I cannot wait to see where the next 40 years take us.

Nancy
