We even had help in putting the food away too.
Your thoughtfulness and dedication will help provide nutritious meals to
the less fortunate members of our community, most of them living right here in
Campbell county. So far this year,
we have served 8,487 meals to our community and St. Catherine of Siena Church
has contributed greatly to continue to make this possible.
Your thoughtfulness and generous provisions are definitely needed and
deeply appreciated. Sincerely,
