In 2024 we expanded by adding 4 other cities in our backpack and turkey giveaways. We now have 5 main programs we support the community with annually. However we are busier than ever year round now since the pandemic we have had to fill in assisting in areas that require more attention, help and assistance. 5 main programs are: Love our Vendors, Easter basket giveaway, Education is Power backpack and school supplies giveaway, Diamond and Turkeys turkey and food giveaway, and A Diamond Christmas toy and gift giveaway.
