Community Service Opportunities
We're so blessed! What a joy for each of us to be able to have our children with us every day. If you want to be blessed by giving, whether of time, money, services or materials, here are some local organizations that serve others. Please remember when giving to donate items that are of a quality you would be happy to receive if you were in need.
