Dear editor:
Thank you student council, parents, staff and students of Oaktree Elementary for hosting a carnival to benefit Goodrich families in need through Outreach East.
Outreach East is a non-denominational emergency resource center dedicated to assisting area families with the support of local businesses, clubs and churches. The number of people from Goodrich receiving food and other assistance through Outreach East has risen from 30 to 167 in the last 12 months.
The caring hearts and hard work of Kelly Alford and Adam Eickholt are greatly appreciated, as is the support of the Goodrich community for making this event so tremendously successful.
A special thank you to Lisa Jensen for her support of Outreach East over the years.
Diane Thrushman
