Yesterday was Positivity Day! Cadet Gianna Peak has been doing a service project every month since January. This time she has decided to put together personal hygiene packs for the Christian Center in Anderson. She already has enough donations to make 50 packs. Gianna wanted to involve her class in the project, so she asked for a dress down day to get more donations from the school. The donations will go to buy more supplies.  We are hoping to make enough money for at least 100 packs.  If you'd like to donate to help Gianna's cause you can stop by our 22nd Street location and donate with cash or check. #MakeYourDreamsTakeFlight
