Exemplifying CFB’s character values of service and citizenship, students from Blair Elementary collected a pallet load of canned food for Metrocrest Services.
Metrocrest Services is a non-profit organization that supports students, their parents and others in the CFB community, helping through emergencies and to plan for a more secure future. Through their assistance with rent, utility payments, food, clothing, medical prescriptions, and more, they aim to prevent families and individuals from being homeless.
