Closer to home

Proudly serving our community

2020 challenged our sense of community.

The pandemic forced entire communities to close down, with no social events or gatherings allowed.

Not only was this difficult emotionally, it was difficult for those in our communities who relied on local services to survive.

Area food banks, senior centers, meals on wheels and other food distribution centers closed until a safe method of delivery could be implemented.

We didn't go outside to volunteer at charitable events, and there certainly weren't any community events planned.

So we redefined community. We made it start smaller, one on one, just like our grandparents did.

We took a pot of soup to a sick coworker. We helped a neighbor mend a fence. And we delivered a box of necessities to the young mother down the street.

Today, community is closer defined to home, and those we serve.
