November is thought of as the
“thankful” month. It is a time when we can reflect on our blessings. For some,
it may be a little more difficult to compile that list of blessings. With
harder economic climates and winter approaching, it can be difficult to make
ends meet. The FRC has listed some information on local resources that can help
out during these seasons of life. We hope you find them helpful and
informative.
