Big thanks to Michelle Salzman(and her staff)for coordinating this event once again. Her care and love for HER community can be seen in her actions by doing these distributions. If you think she works hard for us in Tallahassee and Washington you should see her at these Distributions, she works her behind off just like the other volunteers. Also, big thanks to Sheriff Chip Simmons and the rest of OUR ESCO Sheriffs Department for their hard work as well as Commissioner Barry, Momma Bea, Pastor Andy of GUMC and his congregation members who helped, International Paper and it’s employees who helped by supplying the boxes and their work on Saturday and there’s so many more who were instrumental in making sure everything went smoothly, A BIG THANK YOU TO YOU ALL. From a volunteers standpoint, we were greatly BLESSED by being part of HELPING OUR COMMUNITY. Until next time, May OUR GOD BLESS YOU ALL.
Thanks
Thank you !
