Over 50 Easter egg baskets were collected this past Sunday from various Home Teams!   Jaret Villarreal will deliver them to Helping Hands as a community service project for the National Honor Society.  Thanks Jaret for thinking of others!

Steve and Nancy Porter’s Home Team decided early on to make 20 Easter Baskets for Helping Hands as well, making a grand total of  70 EASTER BASKETS!

Together, bit by bit, we can all make a difference in the lives of those less fortunate.

Can you spare a few hours this Saturday?  Join us as we return to North Richmond to finish up some of the clean-up around the homes we could not complete last month.  Bring your gloves and comfortable clothing. We will be meeting (near) 600 Preston at 8:30 AM.  Click here for map: FONR – Mar 27th Cleanup – Meeting & Dumpster Location Map  For more information, contact Becky Watts
