November Highlights at the Clubhouse
November was jam-packed! Clubhouse members packed over 600 boxes of food at Nourish Up, which will help to support families in need across our community. We also hosted Lunch Buddies from Landmark Builders, visited the Library, discovered new walking trails around Providence Baptist Church, and explored the outdoors at McDowell Nature Preserve!
