The best part about our community is the way all of the local ministries work together to bless the community as a whole! Last week we were able to donate over 100 summer toys that were donated for Christmas to the Hancock County Boys & Girls Club who are serving about 100 kids so these items can be used all summer ☀️ ❤️
God's work is always a team effort! We love this community!
