Thanksgiving Food Drive Starts Today!

Wood Acres is participating in its annual Thanksgiving Food Drive! We are proud to announce that we are continuing our partnership with Bread for the City. As many of you know, Bread for the City is a wonderful organization dedicated to providing food, clothing, medical care, social and legal services to reduce the burden of poverty.  You can learn more about the organization at https://breadforthecity.org/about/
