Community partnership could be supported behind the scenes, offering employment training or job placements, volunteering, or in-kind donations. Do not forget that we have a lot to offer! Through our vocational programs, we provide services to local businesses such as being a local resource for survey stakes and some of the best homemade rolls, breads and sweets.
