Good morning Sally. We have two food drives, one in Nov and the other in Dec. I am not sure how many tons of food we have donated to the local food shelters.

Make it a great week!

I spent all day (0700-1700) at a joint search and rescue & fire car over the side training for my rescue team. I give back year round through that team. In addition we'll make donations of food or money to local food banks and the Spark of Love toy donation drive.

Our give-back is not seasonal; it is year-round. We support the blood bank; I personally give every 56 days.

We also do some pro bono work for those who cannot afford all of the costs of renting or purchasing.

We have set up a FLAGG (Free Loan Association of Gladstone Group) wherein we loan interest free money to those who need a hand up.
