Thanks to your generosity, Turnover Hunger is making a big impact in classrooms and homes across Ripley County this season! 🏈

So far, we’ve raised $10,800 to help provide meals for local students in need. But with more than 225 children relying on this program, we need your help to keep the momentum going.

🍎 Your impact:
πŸ’š $4 can feed a child one meal
πŸ’š $20 can feed a child for an entire weekend

Together, we can make sure no child faces hunger when school is out. πŸŽ’ Give today at https://rccfonline.org/impact/initiatives/turnover-hunger/
