Our volunteers are difference makers.  
We rely on them to help us reach out to people in need with caring and dignity. Here's one volunteer's perspective. 

Funds raised for the Strawberry e-Brunch event support our food pantry as well as responding to those in need across the community with urgent financial needs.

AND THE WINNER OF THE EARLY BIRD RAFFLE IS...
Beth Mueller!
We are excited that Beth, one of our best Brunch hostesses, is the winner of the early bird raffle - a $100 gift certificate for groceries. Beth has decorated tables - usually three each year! - for us almost every year. 
We appreciate her support so much!

Don’t forget… you have another chance to win something...
 
By registering for the June 13th event,

which will take place during the live event.

After a very successful WOWT Stuff the Bus event,
