MCS Holiday Project 2022 Recap

Thank you to everyone who made the 2022 MCS Holiday Project a success. Because of our generous community, we were able to raise almost $15,000 in gift cards, presents, and donations for the children we serve. The smiles on children’s faces and the outpouring of love they felt was priceless and is a gift they will always remember.
