I have submitted a request to reserve the largest enclosed shelter at Riverside Park in Findlay, Ohio, and we’re planning a FREE community cookout on the 4th of July for anyone who would like a hot meal, good company, and a place to celebrate.

To make this event possible, we need the community’s help. We are now accepting food, supply, and monetary donations. Since the event is still a few weeks away, we are especially looking for items that can be frozen or stored until the cookout.

If you’d like to donate, volunteer, sponsor, or have ideas that could help make this event even better, please send me a message.

Let’s show what community looks like and make this a day filled with good food, kindness, and neighbors helping neighbors. ❤️??
