Rockwell is partnering with Redmond Hopelink to help support families in need in our community and we need your help! Food donations will be collected from Monday, December 5th to Wednesday, December 14th, then dropped off by our leadership team to the Hopelink Food Bank. Bring one item of food or a whole grocery bag full and help us to reach our donation goal and make our community a better place this holiday!
