~ Community Cash ~
Save Your Receipts!
If you shop at the Village Market and have Community Cash receipts, we'd love to take those off your hands! The funds we receive from this cycle of Community Cash will go into our ER Food Coalition Fund to make sure our community is fed.
Look for our Do a Little Good mailbox in the driveway at Calvary Lutheran Church at 10180 Elk Lake Rd, Williamsburg, MI 49690 (at the blinking light).
Thank you to everyone who donated receipts during the last cycle as we put $1,562 into our fund designated to help area veterans.
