It's hard to believe summer is almost over and children will be returning to the classroom soon! You can help provide the school age children in need in our community with the tools they need to start the school year by donating school supplies. The items needed can be found in the bulletin or by clicking here. Please bring donations to Human Services by Monday, August 16, to enable our clients to pick-up what their children need before school starts. Thank you, as always, for your generosity and support!
