"Last year was just over $66,000 ($66,250). And knowing that the struggle for, for so many families, the financial struggle is, is even more difficult this year. We are anticipating an increase in demand for families that can truly benefit. And so, our goal is to raise $75,000 to meet the needs of our community."
