Thanks to supporters for Thanksgiving in Sterling

Thanks to all of our Sterling entities who helped to provide food for approximately 70 families needing a helping hand for both Thanksgiving and Christmas and for helping to supply gifts for children of those families to ensure them that Santa does really exist. Sterling Baptist Church, Grace Brethren Church, the Sterling Mennonite Church, the Sterling Masonic Lodge, Headstart, Sterling Elementary, Sterling Community Center, Sterling Senior Center, and the many community members who opened their hearts and pocketbooks —thank you for your generosity! It’s amazing what a community can do working together!
