You Can Help Make A Meaningful Difference: Last weekend a local Woodstock family of five faced unfathomable hardship; with the loss of their home and their precious son. No possession or dollar will ever be enough to rebuild the life this family should be enjoying, but all donations will be kindly accepted. In the coming days, weeks, months and beyond, these funds will be used to help this family take the time they need to heal. Donations can be made at: https://gofund.me/648b2095e.
