After the success of the snack and undies drive last weekend.. let’s do it again!!! PAPER TOWEL AND TOILET PAPER DRIVE FOR MUTUAL GROUND!!! This Friday and Saturday 9am-7pm, Sunday 9am-3pm. Check out the pic for the address of a porch near you, drop off the goods and they will get to Mutual Ground!
Mutual Ground’s mission is to provide education, awarenesses and life-changing services that empower individuals, families and communities to end the cycle of domestic and sexual violence. It is hard to explain the devastating effects of this crisis.. increased need for their services and cutting their ability to raise funds. We are so thankful that we have been able to help a little with masks along the way, the drive this weekend.. and all the donations big and small that make a difference!
