A community of Caring

Dear Colleagues,

Inherent in our mission, vision, and values is a commitment to serving our community. As part of this commitment, we are dedicating each summer month to a different community organization in our area that we will support. This month (June)  is Sister Carmen, and I encourage each of you to participate if you are able. There will be collection bins (either a large barrel or a box) placed at Trailridge, TRU Tele-Care, TRU PACE, TRU Thrift, and TRU Hospice Care Center. Please consider helping us fill the bins!

Our goal is to help keep Sister Carmen's shelves stocked for everyone in our community. Here are some items they need the most:
