"My husband and I have been fortunate enough to get to come each year for a few times now and each year the event tops the year before. My group and I thoroughly enjoyed our evening but more importantly I hope you hit your fundraising goal. The Community Action Partnership is such a great program and you are a huge asset to them!"
Samantha White, Plant Administrator, Cricket Valley Energy Center
We can provide help for those in need through programs such as HEAP, SNAP, or with our Food Pantry's at each site.
