Sonny's BBQ has become an Independence Day tradition at CARE. Before digging in, Miss Mary gave a brief talk about the importance of remembering the sacrifice of those who died for our freedoms. Everyone participated in the setup, fellowship and cleanup. We are grateful to God for friends like the McBride's, whose generous donations make it possible for our men to enjoy such a wonderful celebration with the family that they have found here at CARE. Even Lizzie got into the spirit of things, with her flag-themed bandana!
