“The most important thing is that we meet the needs of the community and we’re doing that. We’re doing it a different way this year, but we’re able to do it and we’re grateful for that. We’re grateful for the volunteers that have shown up, we’re grateful for everybody making this possible. We have such a great community; we see that on days like this,” said Ernie Talerico, Director of Operations.
