All proceeds serve the communities through programs such as Vittles by Vehicle, ­ASPIRE (an after-school program located in six school districts), Day Camp (a three week camp for children ages 3 years to sixth grade with over 60 junior high and high school students working as Day Camp employees or volunteers), Senior Citizens Day, Christmas for Teens, Toys for Tots, Christmas for the Senior Citizens, Back to School Supplies, and the Emergency Assistant Program that helps those who are struggling financially.
