There’s still the final accounting to do in the new year, but Avenue 15, the Veterans Food Bank and the Warmth Project were delighted recipients of everyone’s generosity this year. Avenue 15 will receive the remainder of the money to assist with shelter expenses. I would have to say that this has been an exceptional in spite of the economy! Thank you one and all who have helped in anyway. I hope I haven’t missed anyone.
