Thank you to all community members who donated funds, time and support to our Traveling Turkeys program. Nearly 300 families were served with a Thanksgiving meal due to your support. Although the program has come and gone, there are still ways you can help offset our costs and continue to provide assistance to families living with MS. Ways you can help:
