On July 2nd Joanna Robinson, co-founder and development team member of Hospitality House pulled the two lucky names for IFM’s Friendship Memorial Raffle. The winners were Dan and Clara Taylor and Michael McDaniel.

The Raffle raised more than $4,000 to support Interfaith Food Ministry . They feed over 3,500 people a month and the funds raised will help them ensure they can give their clients nutritious balanced meals.
