Thank you to everyone who attended out Back to School: Backpack Giveaway event this past Wednesday! We were honored to serve our community, along with the community partners that joined us, in supplying children with backpacks (donated by Costco) and school supplies! It was great to see all the smiles at the face painting table, everyone enjoying the Johnny Pops popsicles, and lightbulbs from our Energy Assistance Program!
