We need your help! We currently have 27 families still up for grabs in our Snow Buddies program.
Can you help support a child / family in need in our community?
If you don’t have time or don’t like to shop, we have elves that will do the shopping for you. All you have to do is drop off your cash or check (made payable to Midwest Central with "Snow Buddies" in the memo line) to any of the school offices.
All presents need to be turned in by 12/12/22 to the Primary School.
