NEWS NOTES

HELP LOCAL HEROES MAKE A DIFFERENCE! đŸ«¶

Street Team SJ is gearing up for an online auction from November 29 to December 1, and they need your support! The organization, dedicated to serving meals and providing essentials to unhoused individuals in our community, is calling on local businesses to donate products, services, or gift cards for the auction.

Your donation helps fund Street Team SJ’s vital work, and as a thank you, businesses will be featured in their promotional materials and social media. It’s a great opportunity to give back while gaining exposure for your business. Want to make an impact? Reach out to Auction Coordinators Amy Hoyt or Melanie Roy to donate today.
