Thank You from Community Storehouse
Thank you for hosting this year's Thanksgiving event. I think it was a huge success and this would not have happen without you and your churches hospitality. All of the volunteers were absolutely awesome and were such a pleasure. The Community Storehouse could not do what we do without the help from the community and the churches. We are so blessed to have this support!
