If you don’t have funds to donate to an organization you care about this year, don’t forget you can always donate your time! Find a local shelter in your community and volunteer an afternoon of your time, it is always a wonderful experience to share with your family during the season of giving.
Happy Holidays everyone, from your friends at Cahokia!
We wish you all a wonderful holiday season filled with delicious food, family gatherings, and cheerful celebrations. To those who have difficulty during this time of year, we wish you peace and comfort for the season. Thank you for being part of the Cahokia family!
Warm Wishes,
