Today, the amazing team from the Hamburg Walmart Supercenter stopped by our station with some delightful treats for our staff! We're so grateful for their generosity. Walmart has been such a fantastic community partner, and we can't wait to keep this wonderful partnership going. Thank you so much, Walmart! You’ve made our day!

We are incredibly grateful to Saints Peter and Paul Church for their generous donation of purses filled with personal hygiene items. 💖 These thoughtful gifts will be provided to victims of domestic violence through our Domestic Violence Office. Many of these individuals leave their homes with nothing but the clothes on their backs in search of safety. Your kindness will help ease their transition and remind them that they are not alone. Thank you for supporting those in need and making a difference in our community! 🙏💙
