For the past few years, our Goshen family has donated food items for four families from Spotsylvania Elementary School so they can prepare their Thanksgiving and Christmas meals. We have also purchased and wrapped requested Christmas gifts for six children. The school has asked us to support this outreach opportunity again this year. They have provided us with the four family sizes for the Thanksgiving meal and you can find the signup sheet with the needed items on the bulletin board. All food items need to be returned NLT Sunday, November 17. Thank you, Goshen family for your ongoing support to Spotsylvania Elementary and their families, they are always so very appreciative.
