Fall FUNdraiser 2022


Back-to-School 2022
Christmas 2020 & 2021
Social distancing for Covid meant sponsoring specific children, shopping for their toys and clothing, then doing a pick up for the parents. We used black bags so the kids wouldn't see the gifts in the car. It didn't make for great photos, but we sponsored a lot of children and had fun. In 2020 we used a partner agency's building and parking lot. In 2021 we chose to be outside only so we could forego some of the masking. Here are a few photos, just imagine a lot more bags.
