For many wonderful kids, breaks from school can pose challenges for them to receive the nutrition they need and deserve.  With your generous support, we were able to provide funds for Fill A Heart 4 Kids to purchase food for at least 60 children living in foster facilities to enjoy over Winter Break!  

Please join RGC in Fill A Heart's Lake Forest facility to assemble these food bundles.  Kids under 10 must be accompanied by an adult.  This is an easy 30-minute trip straight north on Route 41.
