You all have been coming through, thank you to everyone who has donated so far! And we're not done yet! There are just a few short weeks until school starts, and we still need lots of school supplies for our community. A quick run to the store can help our kids start the school year with everything they need! 🎒🏃✏🏃‍♀️✂🏃‍♂️
