The CCF does a lot of work behind the scenes to support our local communities.

The Care Catalog was last Fall, but it made quite a splash and ripples are still occurring. Today, KSNT reported on the USD 322 Onaga High School weightlifting room equipment updates funded through the Catalog. There were multiple donors; the story on the 5:00 news focused on Little Apple Toyota, by far the largest donor. The news clip didn’t show the entire crowd of Buffalo proud: several coaches, five students, and CCF. CCF treated all to a pizza lunch following the interview. A huge thank you to all the donors, especially Little Apple Toyota!
