Mel Trotter Food Bank Donations
We recently received a message from Mel Trotter Mission requesting our help. The food bank is extremely low right now, and they are concerned about the summer months when children will not be getting their breakfast and lunch through school programs. Blue Mel Trotter bins are available in the school lobby for your donations.
