Our annual Irene's Elves Toy Drive has begun! Help make this Holiday Season special for a child in our Early Learning Center by donating gifts to them Nov. 1-Dec. 11. Most of the kids in our ELC come from low-income homes so your generous gifts will go a long way toward brightening a child's holidays! Email Steve Westcott at [email protected] and let him know if you want to sponsor one or more kids and he'll provide all the details. Please share this information with others and help make a difference in a child's life this year!
