Nikol Reed for Vandergrift Council

If anyone has a little time today, and is looking for some Christmas spirit, stop at the corner of Grant and Farragut Avenues to help decorate the town Christmas tree! Some extra hands would be much appreciated at noon today. And no, this picture isn't vandegrift, but there's nothing like a Christmas tree to make a HomeTown look brighter!

Wow. I'm in tears. So touched and honored by the huge support from friends and family. This text I just got from my sis in law really sums it all up. If you are ever unsure if you should do the thing, DO THE THING! And find other super special people who will have your back no matter what.
SO, SO grateful for all the support from everyone!

Congratulations to the winners in our local election! Doesn't look like it worked out for us this time, but I'll still be out there doing everything I possibly can for Vandergrift!

I voted! Your turn!

Thank goodness for The Sia Center Sia Ann putting together a food bank for local families. My night before the election, grocery shopping to help out. So grateful to have amazing people in this town who want to give back.

Who loves a parade? We do! The Vandergrift Improvement Program and the Vandergrift Business Association are excited to join together to host the traditional Vandergrift holiday parade on Friday November 28th at 6:00 p.m. Plan to attend, and better yet, plan to enter the parade!

Do not forget to vote for change and community involvement on November 4th. Your local politicians should be involved in events that grow the town.

With the government shutdown affecting so many families, we need your help. November, food stamps are on hold and that is scary for some. We want to do what we can.

Things to donate:
Non-perishables
Baby items, including formula
Frozen items
Cases of water and other drink drinks
And we will accept produce the day before and shop for produce ourselves!

ALL MUST BE SEALED

⭐️ On Nov. 7th bring in your EBT card and ID that matches the name on it and get the essentials you need.

Based on how much we collect, we may limit so many items per person. More details will come as we collect donations.

I will also be looking for a few volunteers Thursday and Friday 🦋

Any businesses that help sponsor or donate to this event will be posted and printed out!

Who loves a parade? We do, along with our friends at the Vandergrift Business Association. That's why we're working together to make sure that the Vandergrift Christmas Parade tradition continues!
