A huge thank you to Albany Fire Department Engine One for collecting new and like new children's costumes! We passed along the costumes to our friends at Albany Neighborhood Community and Services' for their Trunk or Treat on October 28th. You can catch us at the Trunk or Treat later this month with our own decorated trunk.

Yesterday, "R" came into our office with a huge smile to donate items from him and his brother! His kindness and willingness to share with others should be something we all continue to strive for. We are currently in desperate need of new or like-new children' s clothing as the new school year is starting. Be like R and donate to those in need.
