Relay for Life
There are only a few weeks until the Gooding County Relay For Life on Friday, June 13th-14th. RFL teams are putting on different events to raise money including selling luminaria bags. You can write your family member’s name on the bag, or you can write “In Memory of,” “In Celebration of,” or even “Proud of You”. Each bag will have a canned food item which will go to Helping Hearts and Hands after the Relay. There will also be a candle in each bag to be lit at the Relay. The goal is to have enough decorated bags to completely circle the track this year, so be generous and buy several bags.
