Organizers called the District 1 Rally one of the most well-attended rallies this year. Spirits were high as more than 75 people came to support their community and join in fellowship.

Attendees donated several boxes and bags of nonperishables and hygiene items to give to the food bank and fill the area’s Blessing Boxes.

Members had a great time as they joined in games, activities, a silent cookie auction and other entertainments for the whole family throughout the day.

SPJST member Lauren Plachy appreciated the event and those who made it happen.

“It was such a fun day,” Plachy said. “Thank you for everyone who played a part in planning and making it a success.”

Local food banks and blessing boxes in the Snook and Caldwell area will receive all donated items collected during the rally.

Organizers expressed deep gratitude to all who donated, attended, or volunteered during the day’s activities.
