Our traditional Holiday Party & Toy Drive was held on Dec 10th. The turnout was great, with an exceptional buffet of tasty foods, and lots of toy donations for those less fortunate.
After the party, 4 large bags of toys were distributed to selected organizations who make sure the toys get delivered to those in need. Leftover food was also donated to local food pantries.
