Thank You for Your Generosity

Our August 17th food drive partnering with Rescue 11 and the Landrum Police Department was a huge success.

We completely loaded the trailer.

We want to say a special thanks to everyone who participated in donating items to restock the pantry at Operation Hope.

Also thanks to Angela and Tina at Dollar General and to Dollar General Corporation for the opportunity to camp outside their store.

This was another great example of Neighbors Helping Neighbors, and we couldn’t have done it without all of you.

Thank you!

This fall’s CWP course will take place on Saturday, October 5, 2019.
