Feed A Family

Our goal with "Feed A Family" was too able to reach our community in a more personal way.  This meant getting our membership involved with recognizing families in need. In order to qualify you had to be nominated and your name was put into a random drawing. We chose two families from Lauderdale and & Clarke County. We hope to have made this Thanksgiving a little bit more special! Happy Thanksgiving!
