We are extremely grateful to the Ajo Center for Sustainable Agriculture for providing guidance and assistance to our team in reaching out to families and seniors experiencing need in the Ajo community.
We donated 250 frozen hams and $20 gift cards for side fixings to be handed out during a Thanksgiving food distribution day at the Ajo Food Pantry.
During our annual Turkey Giveaway in Merrillville, where turkeys and sides were handed out to over 600 families, Arianna presented a donation of $1500 to the Food Bank of Northwest Indiana to assist in their efforts to provide meals for the people that are food insecure in Lake and Porter counties in Indiana.
Other services provided that day by volunteers from the Merrillville boys basketball team, Girl Scouts, Project X, and The Bill and Kali Show included the packing of 150 senior grocery boxes, 300 Mobile Market boxes, and sorted hundreds of food drive items.
We were joined by Clark County School District PD, Behind the Blue NV, Just One Project, and Ruby Thomas Elementary, where we handed out frozen turkeys, boxes of fixings, and other food items.
“It is a beautiful thing to give back to the community that has been such a blessing to me. I am thankful for our wonderful community partners who serve as force multipliers producing greater results than we could ever accomplish independently. I am also thankful for the many faithful community partners who serve along our side to improve the quality of life in Las Vegas.” –Glen Lerner, Esq.
