3rd Annual Food Drive
For our third year in a row, the chapter returned to the Hubbard House organization. They were so gracious for our return this Thanksgiving season. With all the donations from the chapter members and their entity co-workers, the COMTO Jacksonville chapter was able to deliver boxes among boxes to the organization of non-perishable food items. We always donated monetary gift cards to Publix for the families in order to purchase items for Thanksgiving that were perishable such as turkeys. Thank you to all of you who donated!
