The Club has been busy even during this pandemic.
- We purchased and donated 100 masks for our local police precinct. They were thrilled to get them.
- We provided coats and backpacks full of goodies to 7 children from Devonshire Elementary School.
- CCOC agreed to give a $50 gift card for pizza to The Relatives each quarter. They were excited about this donation. They chose Domino's Pizza as the one they wanted. First card was sent just before Christmas.
- Two members worked the MedAssist Medicine Giveaway. They pulled orders and distributed in 40 degree weather.
- Several members sorted medicine at the MedAssist warehouse to make sure they had enough for clients.
