We had a very special visitor at CFCI!

Sarah’s daughter stopped by this morning for a brief team-building game, a meeting to discuss coloring techniques, and lots of smiles (strong morale indicators)-bringing a little extra holiday joy to our day. 🎄

Moments like these make the season feel extra special.💚

Now, a total of $80,000 will be distributed across 8 counties, 20 towns, and 27 organizations before years end.
