A huge thank you to the Do It Best team for volunteering with our Summer Eats Meal Program today! ☀️

We are incredibly grateful for their time, energy, and dedication to helping ensure local children have access to meals this summer. Their support goes beyond volunteering—we also appreciate the generous funding provided through a Do It Best Foundation grant, which helps make this program possible.

Thank you for investing in our community and making a difference for local families!

The rain couldn't stop these smiling faces from volunteering to pack and serve lunches for Summer Eats this week! 😄

Special thanks to the Dixon Petunia Festival, Inc. Royalty for helping to pass out meals! If you were not able to pick up meals at the church yesterday, you can call your local library to see if they still have meals left over.

We will see you for Week 4 of Summer Eats next Wednesday! 🌞
