Say Hello to Ray!❤️
For several years, Ray has been there for every community program we offer-
especially Back-to-School. 🎒📓👕
Ray shops throughout the year and collects school supplies, clothing, Blessings Closet supplies and more!
He is one of the kindest and most generous individuals we know, and he truly has a heart for the kids of Carroll County!
Today, we would like to thank Ray for all he does for this community and for the blessings he shares with the students of Carroll County.❤️
