During last week's Abbeville City Council meeting, Community Wellness presented a donation of $1,650 to the Hope to Home Initiative to support individuals experiencing homelessness in our community.
The donation was made possible through the success of the organization's 3rd Annual Volleyball Jamboree, which raised an impressive $4,150. In addition to the contribution to Hope to Home, $2,500 was donated to the Christian Service Center.
The City of Abbeville extends its appreciation to Community Wellness, as well as the sponsors, players, volunteers, vendors, donors, and supporters who helped make this event a success. Their efforts continue to make a meaningful difference in the lives of those throughout our community.
