Keller Williams Metro's annual #KWRedDay seeks to Renew, Energize, and Donate to their community each year. Last week, they dropped off food and toiletries from the drive they held and the shopping they did. Thank you so much KW Metropolitan!

United Baptist Church of Concord has purchased countless cases of toilet paper, paper towels, and food, facilitated by Kathi. They have also organized a home cooked meal delivery service, bringing large casseroles to feed our families. Thank you Donna for organizing this!

Steve Gamlin and the Beach Bums purchased a stove for us to replace one that had caught fire. Since that time, the Beach Bums have shopped for us and delivered food on several occasions, including a home-cooked Easter dinner. A special thank you to Steve’s mom for that!
