I work at the Notre Dame school down the road. Our adults love volunteering, and working setting up the restaurant.
We came for our end of the year lunch. The instructors were overwhelmed by the generosity.
Your kindness and compassion touched our hearts. I can’t thank you enough for what you’ve given to our community and students.
Your place for a job site is number one in my book.
Thank you so much!
