Our BBQ Team and Chef Cruz catered for the Kiwanis Club of Quitman’s end of year party last night. The kids did an amazing job this past week preparing pulled pork, grilled chicken wings, potato salad, pasta salad, and baked beans with pickles, onions, and bbq sauce on the side. We are so proud of them and their hard work.

Thursday we had an amazing presentation by Program Administrator LCPAA Matt Patton with Children’s Village.

He discussed fostering and what they are doing to help change the lives of children needing care because of choices they didn’t make

Thank you Matt and look forward to seeing the additional resources come to our area
