Fill the Van Event Delivered Over $2000 worth of Food
At our Fill the Van Event on November 20 to assist Bluffton Self Help we were able to deliver over $2,000 worth of food products to Bluffton Self Help for their Thanksgiving Food Drive.
 
Also on Wednesday, we purchased and delivered food to the Bluffton Community Soup Kitchen at the Campbell Chapel AME Church for their annual Thanksgiving dinner event. We donated 20 turkeys, 20 hams, sweet potatoes, green beans and cranberry sauce. The Soup Kitchen will serve around 1000 meals at their Thanksgiving event.
 
Thanks to John Miller for organizing and managing this event!

CART FUND DONATIONS
Do you worry about Alzheimer’s?  We do not have a cure for Alzheimer’s disease, but we must find one.  Finding a cure starts with you.  Every year the CART (Coins for Alzheimer’s Research Trust) Fund gives research grants focused on finding a cure for Alzheimer’s disease. 
 
Have you given to the CART Fund this year?  The CART Fund is dedicated to raising funds to provide “seed” money for cutting edge, high impact research in hopes of finding a cure/prevention for Alzheimer’s disease.  The goal of the CART Fund is to encourage exploratory and developmental Alzheimer’s disease research projects within the United States. This is accomplished by providing financial support for the early and conceptual plans of those projects that may not yet be supported by extensive preliminary data but have the potential to substantially advance biomedical research. These projects should be distinct from those designed to increase knowledge in a well-established area unless they intend to extend previous discoveries toward new directions or applications.
