Hello!
We are back at it this year. We took a break from posting but we have still been at it, and plan to share all soon.
We need volunteer for an amazing grant we received from Grand Forks to work along side St. Josephs lunch program.
Three days a week we go to a site and do a craft with kids and give each child a mini art kit to take home.

Come and join in the fun!
