In the past, we have cooked dinner for the Ronald McDonald House; taught computer classes at a local women’s center; adopted a road for cleanup; collected and donated cell phones to local women’s centers, the office on aging and for the Safety Net Organization for at-risk children.
Besides hands-on activities, we also raise funds by participating in several activities such as the local Peach Festival and a Lunch with Mr. & Mrs. Santa. Last year alone we awarded approximately $10,000. in scholarships and awards to local students, community members and organizations.
