As you will see from all the photos, this month has been a busy one. Our Thanksgiving Drive was a great success once again this year. Thanks to Christ Fellowship Church and the District 9 schools for their gracious donations, as well as, the School Police who helped us with the deliveries. Together we made a difference for those in need. Our visit to the Redland, South Dade and Everglades Migrant Camps was another highlight of this month. During our visit free backpacks, books, non-perishable weekend meals and school supplies were distributed to more than 250 students. A big thank you to our friends at Read Conmigo and Christ Fellowship for joining us and providing donations.
