Events like these help us with our outreach efforts including the street-front Blessing Box which provides non-perishable food and personal care products to the community; school supplies, winter hats and gloves for area children; dresses for girls in Uganda; humanitarian aid to Ukraine; and other efforts. We hope to see many of our neighbors coming in to purchase raffle tickets and a pie or two.”
