Support Officer Patrick's Family
Please remember that we are collecting donations to help support the family of Officer Scott Patrick, on behalf of the entire congregation. We have already collected and delivered over a thousand dollars to the fund in his memory at Affinity Plus Federal Credit Union, which is matching donations up to $10,000--and we will continue collecting donations to add to that fund. If you want to make a donation to honor his memory and his work, please click here to do so, or you can send in or drop off a check at our office with "IMO Officer Patrick" in the memo line.
