Hi All

Gratitude to Coalition 253 and all who have contributed to this heartening project (especially Kristinia, Zander, and Rosemary who have all put in extraordinary time and energy).  Thanks to Martha and the Salvation Army for serving as a collection point and hosting our stocking preparation event.
