Tim Brown of Ric Brown Family Funeral Home had a wonderful time connecting with our local community and supporting the Mission Police Department at this morning’s Donuts with the Chief event.

It was especially meaningful to attend alongside Barbara Brown, who also represents Gracious Hearts , a nonprofit supporting women survivors of domestic violence, Human Trafficking & sexual assault in our region. It’s always a joy to stand with others who are making a difference!

We’re thankful for opportunities like this to build relationships, support public service, and celebrate the people who make Mission such a strong and caring place to call home. 💙
