We were grateful to be able to attend The United Way of Howard and Tipton Counties campaign celebration today. We are so grateful to live in a community that serves and supports its neighbors. We work and collaborate with the United Way regularly to meet the needs of those in our community. We can’t do it alone to help those in need in our community and we are thankful to work together with like minded organizations to serve this wonderful community.

We are a recipient of some of the food from this food drive. Thank you to everybody who will donate. And thank you to the letter carriers for all that they do in putting this on each and every year. 

On Saturday, May 9th make a simple act of kindness that can make a big impact. Join the nationwide Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive by leaving non-perishable food donations by your mailbox for your letter carrier to pick up.

Every can, box, and bag helps stock local food pantries and supports families facing food insecurity right here in our community. Together, we can help ensure neighbors have access to the food they need.

This Ash Wednesday, we pause to remember our humanity and our need for God’s grace. From dust we came, and through faith, we are renewed. May this season of Lent draw us closer to repentance, humility, and hope.
