We are grateful that we have been able to participate and be part of organizations that serve as examples of strength in community; organizations that fill empty spaces with passion and dedication. While we donate and volunteer with groups throughout the year, we would like to highlight some with which we have actively participated. We would like to honor their commitment and give thanks for their hard work.
