While the project certainly will not end here, I am taking a few days to reflect on what I have learned and what I can do to take this project further.
Please take a few minutes to scan through some of these causes if you are looking to get involved in Lexington (or one in Perryville!) or pick one out that you may want to know more about. Maybe you, your child, family member, or someone you know may be able to benefit from one of these causes that you perhaps didn't know had locally available resources.
