Top 5 things you can do THIS WEEK to support Willowdale:
#1: SAY THANKS! If you see one of the MANY amazing volunteers who helped to make Harvest Fest a success, thank them!

And an extra special thanks to Erik Hoffman, Brittany Holberheinrich, and Josh Brown for taking the lead and supporting our event! YOU ALL ARE AMAZING!
#2: MARK YOUR CALENDAR! Our next Willowdale "Slice of the Pie" night is October 12! Take a night off from making dinner and support Willowdale!
