We are very excited to now be working with Camplify and Safelight and appreciate your support in our efforts to reach more people in the community. Please contact us to get involved and go check out these great nonprofit organizations!
Camplify: "Camplify uses a series of camp-based and experiential learning programs to teach kids-in-need the life skills required to succeed and become the leaders of tomorrow. Students enter our programs in the 4th grade and begin to learn about responsibility, respect, ethics, collaboration, goal-setting, and more."
This April we will be donating backpacks to the first year 4th graders on their return from their first camp experience!
Safelight: "A nonprofit agency that provides support for victims of interpersonal violence, sexual assault and child abuse. Making it possible for families who want to be free of violent relationships to succeed. "
We will be donating backpacks for children and school supplies for adults working to get their GEDs!
