'Tis the gift-giving season. The 6x6 Brotherhood Foundation will teach 50 kids the importance of the giving and receiving process. The children will receive $50 for a shopping spree. They will purchase one gift for themselves, one gift to give to someone within their household, and also a gift to help them learn.

WHAT PEOPLE SAY
The Cartwright Center for Strong Families and Thriving Children would like to extend a special vote of thanks to the 6x6 Brotherhood Foundation for their generous contribution of food and string backpacks to families experiencing food insecurity. The pantry at the Center for Strong Families and Thriving Children is made possible by St. Mary’s Food Bank and the 6x6 Brotherhood Foundation is making it possible for the Center to extend its reach to feed additional community members. Andre Billman, PE teacher at Pena Elementary School in the Cartwright School District, helped to coordinate the food donations and the printing of the backpacks. The Center for Strong Families and Thriving Children is very appreciative of this donation and we look forward to a continued relationship throughout the year.
