New year. Same purpose for our LEAD Council! 💪🏼🙌🏼

Our young professionals kicked off the new year preparing a community meal and fixing beds for the Salvation Army of Watertown. Members also learned about the current operations for the temporary warming center at their location and key needs of the community’s homeless population.

Many thanks to Captains Dominic and Elizabeth Nicoll for their insight and opportunity to help! 🤝Image attachmentImage attachment+3Image attachment
