A big thank you to Prospect Street United Methodist Church for their generous donation of 10 tables to the Rec Center!

We also want to give a special thank you to Rachel, Derrick, and their son Landon, who reached out to the Rec Center to see if we were in need of tables. They then went above and beyond by braving the heat and transporting the tables by cart directly to the Rec Center.

This is certainly not the first time this family has supported the Rec Center. They have donated food items for our youth, a coffee maker for our staff, and even Rec Center logo for keyrings that Landon created for our staff using a 3D printer.

It is especially meaningful to see a youth who regularly attends the Rec Center, along with his family, show such incredible support for our program. We are so grateful for their continued kindness and generosity,

Thank you, Rachel, Derrick, and Landon, for thinking of the Rec Center and for all the ways you continue to support our program.
