Donations have been sorted and hung. Now we just need to get set up for the big event! This part is the hardest and is ALOT of work. But many hands will make this task much easier.

Is there anyone out there that would be willing to come in a give us a hand? Not only would you be doing us a huge favor, you will get a sneak peak of what we have to offer!

We will be meeting Monday, the 24th at 10am to get started. Please DM for details if you can spare an hour or two of your time. Thank you!

Look at this! Some MS tech students, under the guidance of Mr. Bayliss, created a new label for our donation bin. We love it when the students get involved with our mission. Many thanks to this crew!
