Proceeds from the meal will go towards CAP center programs, which include CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocate) for children, parent education, mentoring programs and teen pregnancy prevention programs.

“From staying informed with local governmental issues to hearing the stories of its people, a hometown newspaper is vital to a community.
