SSD is overwhelmed with gratitude for the incredible support and generosity of Pridgin Family Adventures in their recent food drive for our backpack program. PFA raised nearly $3,000 in food and monetary donations. Their dedication to helping those in need is truly heartwarming. SSD cannot thank you enough, Pridgin Family Adventures!
