Strawberry Plains Community Alliance Tonight @ 7:00

The Strawberry Plains Community Alliance will meet at Rush Strong School tonight at 7:00. The speaker is to be Mr. Leroy Thompson, an expert at community revitalization. I'm looking forward to hearing from him.

Since we've arrived in Strawberry Plains the community seems to be undergoing a transformation. In an area where 54% of the kids are on free and reduced lunch the clothing closet we began (originally just for victims of domestic violence) has been busy. The food pantry we're networked with is serving more clients than ever. Word is getting to more people each month about our Angel Food distribution, more domestic violence clients are being reached and more people are being served.

We're tremendously proud of the work we are doing both online and locally. It's an honor and a privilege to see such change taking place!
