Thank you so much to following: Elysburg Alliance Church, The Catawissa VFW, and Flick Bros Electric. Through their generosity, we were able to give a family in our district a used washer and dryer. The family did not have a washer and dryer in their residence and have been without for quite some time. Elysburg Alliance Church and the Catawissa VFW made a monetary donation towards the washer and dryer, while Flick Brothers gave a significant discount. Flick Bros will be delivering and hooking them up for the family this week. Again, thank you to all who made this act of kindness possible. 🐯
