Little Dog looks forward to pouring some beers for a good cause!

Brandi Prell and Brittany Prell Cohen recently started New Jersey Covid Vaccine Info, a Facebook group where people can ask questions about, offer guidance for, and even volunteer to help one another with scheduling appointments to receive the COVID-19 vaccine.
