Our Mission:

To spread goodwill through out our community with the hopes that true acts of kindness will be continuous.

With this goal in mind the last 11 years we have been able to help several members of our community who had:

• house fires
• suffered from a lingering illness and needed help with medical bills, or building a handicap ramp.
• been laid off or on disability and need help with medical, heating, or electric bills.

We have assisted 44 families, distributed over 152 food baskets to families in our community who have needed just a little help to make it through the month, and awarded 27 college scholarships to students in our community.
