To help support local foster care families in advance of National Foster Care month, Bill Colwell Ford hosted the Fill a 50 event. During the month of April, they collected items on behalf of Cedar Valley Angels so they can help support families as they welcome new people into their homes on short notice. Bill Colwell Ford asked the Cedar Valley community to bring items and help them fill the bed of an F-150, or Fill a 50.
Some of the items they collected included toys, books, paper towels, laundry detergent, personal care products, and many more shelf-stable foods and cleaning products. A big THANK YOU to everyone who came out and donated to the Fill a 50 event this year. A lot of items were raised for foster care families in the Cedar Valley, and it wouldn't have been possible without your help!
Once again, thank you to everyone who participated, your generosity is astounding!
