Friday night, Rick Yost representing
Homes for Heroes and Shelly Afthim one of the leaders of Seasons of Gratitude
hosted a party to conclude the fundraiser, which raised $1,545 for food-insecure
people in the community as a thank you to teachers, administrators, police and
fire employees who helped when the school was threatened this past winter.
“This is to say thank you. For three
days we were very scared. This is not about the event, but the super work.” The
money was divided between the Windham Food Pantry and the backpack program at
Manchester School.
“The people we are honoring deserve a
celebration,” said Yost, who works with Homes for Heroes which gives police,
fire and veterans discounts on the costs of purchasing a home.
Comedians were on hand to entertain the
teachers and invited guests.
“It’s a great event, very funny,” said
Rodney Knights of Raymond.
