COMMUNITY SERVICE PROJECT
The Family Activities Committee’s goal is to help build a stronger community by working with other organizations on joint community service projects. By assisting others on projects needed in the Community that help others with their comfort whether physical or emotional. Donate your time or make something for another organization (hospital, nursing home, day care center, etc.) that needs the “special something” (adult clothing protectors, games)? With Corvid 19 present, please take care of your health.
