Godwink is working on teacher appreciation in April and getting ready for our book giveaway in May. Lake Forest also received over 1000 Easter eggs. They have asked for a to set up a closet for contributions to give to students and staff as needed such as clothes, food, personal care items, teacher/student school supplies. We will set this up and keep adding to it as needed.

Sign up to be put on the list of folks who will provide food for the train. When we know of a family that can use the help, Leeann/Katherine will contact folks on the train to schedule. Information on food allergies and such will be found out and passed along. If you cannot or don't have time to cook but want to contribute you may order food and have it delivered on your scheduled night.
