Warm Hands Initiative
Locals, Janet McGregor and Leisa Dunn, saw a need within our school system and took the initiative to fill that need. With cold weather quickly approaching, the two took on fundraiser opportunities to purchase every elementary school student (North and South) a sweet treat and a warm pair of gloves. They presented those to our kids when we returned from Christmas Break and our kids were beyond grateful. For days, smiles covered their faces as they talked about the "snowmen" and the chocolate bars that didn't make it home. A week later, our area experienced extremely low temperatures and I rested better at night knowing that we had done our best to ensure that everyone had a warm coat and, because of the diligence and heart of two local ladies, a warm pair of gloves. While dollars are always appreciated, because we all know there is never enough, when we speak of investing into our children it often times looks like this: love and time. Janet and Leisa came one afternoon to disperse the goodies to our students and did just that for about 2 hours--loved every child and gave them their time. If you don't believe me, ask those two ladies how it feels to invest love and time in the life of a child. It doesn't get much better.
