Renee, the "rummage sale queen" responded to our call for baskets so that we could make prizes for our kids & events. Thank you to all the supporters like Renee who dropped baskets off at our Wellness Center -- this is a year-round project, and we now have enough for our annual children's holiday party to make kids' prizes. We will need more after the first of the year -- start watching out, saving, and dropping them off after 2025 begins for our upcoming signature event, we're going to need about 100 more large baskets for our 22nd Annual Gala and have enough of the small & medium size. Thank you for helping us with this portion of our program!
