Garden club cultivates kindness Tuesday, December 15, 2020 11:44 AM Sisters Garden Club donated winter clothing to Family Access Network (FAN) and provided for other needs in their holiday season of giving.
photo by Sue Stafford ‘Tis the season of giving and the members of the Sisters Garden Club showed their holiday spirit last week with donations distributed to the Sisters Kiwanis Food Bank, Sisters Family Access Network (FAN), and to the Sisters-Camp Sherman Fire Department for their Giving Tree Drive.
Giving is nothing new for the Garden Club. Every year in the past, the members have gathered for their annual holiday party in early December. At that event, all the members would bring donations for a local charity. COVID-19 robbed them of their party this year but couldn’t stop them from doing good in the community.
