Thank you to everyone who supported SOPH’s Fall Food Drive!
Because of your generosity, we were able to donate a large collection of plastic, paper, and reusable bags to Grace Klein, helping them sort and distribute food more efficiently. We also contributed a generous assortment of food items to the Community Food Bank of Central Alabama.
Your kindness truly makes a difference—thank you! 🙌
