GHC Community Day - Spaghetti Feed & Holiday Care Packaging

Dear Heroes,

Our phones have been ringing off the hook with excitement for this Saturday's Heroes Community Day in Hood River. You will be proud of all your local friends and neighbors who are pitching in to make your holidays brighter.

Special thanks to the Hood River National Guard Members who are helping get the Armory's renovations in tip-top shape for this weekend's event.

The Westside Fire Department, is not only donating a huge portion of the spaghetti feed yummy's for this weekend, but they are also sending down a team of proud West Side firefighters to cook the entire meal! How awesome is that?

When I spoke to Westside's Fire Marshal Jim Trammel, he proudly told me, "These are our local Heroes and we want to help. They support us, so we are supporting them".
