“It’s been a tough year for people and we have seen it in the profession we are in and its only right to do our part and the community has been good to us and we are a fabric of the community and we want to show the people that we care,” said Compean.
“You don’t know how much this means to me,” said Dorothy Morris. “Its truly a blessing,” said another recipient, Ella Jones.
