Raising over 7.2 million dollars and far exceeding our goal shows what is possible when an entire community works together. This has been an amazing effort by hundreds of partners and volunteers along with over 15,000 donors- all working together collectively to ensure that everyone in the Chattahoochee Valley is cared for and supported.
