Here’s what our community accomplished together at last weeks Winter Gear Distribution:
🏠 161 individual households served
🧤 291 children served
❄️ 1,211 total winter gear items distributed

Behind every number is a neighbor, a family, and a child who can face the winter season a little more comfortably. We’re thankful for the collaboration, generosity, and community support that made this possible!
