HELP A NEEDY FAMILY

Glider nation - We are helping a family this summer that was homeless. They have now found a job, moved into an apartment and have transportation; but have hardly any food, clothing or furniture. If you are interested in donating any food, money or clothing to help them get on their feet, please contact Coach Wise. The children are 16 (boy), 14(boy) and 11(girl). Thank you.
