Upcoming Events:

Happy New Year! I hope that your holiday season was filled with much love, laughter, and lots of family time! A big thank you to those who participated in our food/clothing drive in December, it’s so wonderful when we are able to work together in giving to others. We donated two big boxes of food to the Richmond Food Shelf, and many bags of coats, and warm clothing went to COTS, The Vermont Dismas House, and Spectrum Youth & Family Services. So here’s to a new year filled with hope, good health, community, family, laughter, love and endless possibilites!
