Food Giveaway Happening Now‼️
LAJ families and friends, we just received word that Family Church community food giveaway, located at Clay High School, still has many boxes of food left. This event began at 11:00 AM and is ongoing.
If your family or anyone you know could use a little extra support this week, please head over to Clay High as soon as you can — no requirements, just drive through and pick up what you need. They are hoping to share all remaining food with our community before the event ends.
Please help spread the word so nothing goes to waste!
