At the beginning of November, we embarked on a heartfelt mission to support our community through food collections. Our aim was to assist those in need by partnering with charities that hold a special place in our hearts. We selected three wonderful organizations for our initiative: Baxter Community Food Pantry, The G.R. Mom’s Club, and Boston Square Community Pantry.

We have been overwhelmed by the generosity and outpouring of support from our community. Through your donations, we've been able to provide substantial aid and resources to these charities.

Thank you to everyone who donated, we’ve made a significant impact. What an incredible way to end 2025, with a spirit of giving. Thank you once again for making this possible!!!
