Welcome 2020
Happy New Year! Our clinic has noticed toward the end of the year that a lot of our volunteers are not eating dinner; therefore, as a clinic, we have decided to no longer serve dinner during our Thursday night free clinic. Instead, we will provide healthy snacks, water, soft drinks, etc. There will be special occasions where dinner will be provide and we will do our best to let volunteers know when that will be.
