 Greetings! 

 

Our Christmas luncheon yielded laughter and fellowship, but most importantly our Chapter gave unselfishly to Feed By Grace.  We want to thank those who attended the Christmas luncheon for their generous donation.  Neale Mansfield, Executive Director for Feed By Grace reports that our Chapter blessed their organization with $420.00.  Mr. Mansfield shared that the money collected will assist them in purchasing a heater for their facility and their Christmas event at Unity Park.

 

Mr. Mansfield shared the mission for Feed By Grace, which is to encourage and empower homeless individuals who desire life change.  Click here to visit website.
