Solid Rock Chapel Delivers Gifts and Meals
Solid Rock Chapel delivered meals, gifts and goody bags to residents at local CILA homes and Patterson House over the weekend. They took a wagon around town for 3 ½ hours to deliver the items. Normally the church holds a Christmas party for the CILA homes and Patterson House but were unable to do so due to the pandemic. They were able to raise over $4,000 to help make this possible.
