Last year the Convoy of Hope came into town and with the help of many area churches with over 300 volunteers served over 5000 people with free items and services. In just one day the group gave away $60,000 in groceries, bag after bag of clothing, free haircuts and did 300 dental exams plus provided fun for 1000 kids.  Add to that, free BBQ, prayer for those who asked for it and music all day long and you gotta say it was a terrific and uplifting day for everyone.
