Diapers, Clothing, Toys, and Lunch!
Every Friday from 1pm - 3pm, COA holds a diaper bank. This Easter Friday, we also gave out clothing and toys. Thank you to the food truck Beauty 2 the Streetz for stopping by for lunch and giving out hot meals to all in need.
We LOVE our Volunteers! Thank you for helping make this day special for all!
We couldn't have done this without the help of friends like you. You too can volunteer, donate, and get involved. There are several ways to help. Donate goods, and dollars, or volunteer your time.
