Big Thanks To Izzie Jackson For Supporting Local Veterans!
A local girl is spreading sunshine and literally taking loads of lemons and making lemonade, all for a great cause! Izzie Jackson set a goal earlier this year of raising $1,776 for the local Veterans Food Pantry by selling lemonade as part of ‘Izzie’s Squeeze of Joy’. Not only did Izzie meet her goal, she exceeded it, and raised $2070 to support the local Veterans Food Pantry. Thank you Izzie for your amazing example to us all!
