Thank you for an incredible season of Thanksgiving - and let’s keep it going.

Please take time over the holiday to spend meaningful moments with your parents and siblings. Thank you, too, for taking an ornament from the Jesse Tree. This is the perfect opportunity this weekend to shop for a family or purchase gloves and mittens for children.
