Arylece Cousins would like to thank all that made Saturday’s Back to School Pancake Breakfast at Abbitt Park a morning filled with many blessings.

“To the churches, the guest speakers, Moose Lodge, Grace Hill ELC, to every individual that opened your heart and donated, we were able to pack 112 book bags, and give away 29 $25 Walmart gift cards and present $320 to our football team to help onset the cost of what’s needed in the weight room,” Cousins said. “When the community comes together as one, there is power in what we can do. Those that worked to make this happen, thank you. #GodgettheGlory #P01shine2022.”

Guest speakers were Lisa Pannell, Minister Scottie Booker and Johnathan Smith. Music was provided by provided by Journey Church.
