Thank you for making a difference in the lives of our local Veterans!

Guess what? Our team won the Coldwater Area Chamber of Commerce 's Scarecrow Contest! But the best part? We used our prize money to make a donation to the Branch County Veteran's Footlocker, which does amazing work helping support local veterans right here in our community.

Thank you to the Chamber for hosting the contest and to the Veteran’s Footlocker for everything you do for our local heroes!

21 Thanksgiving boxes were handed out this year to our local Veterans, a testament to the incredible impact of community support. We are truly humbled by the outpouring of generosity for this program. Nancy and Tammy put the boxes together to have them ready to distribute, a shining example of kindness in action. Nice job ladies.

A big thank you to the Quincy American Legion Auxiliary for their remarkable generosity in donating $1,000 to the Branch County Footlocker. This donation will make a tangible difference in the lives of those in need, providing essential support for Thanksgiving dinner baskets and beyond.
