We are currently distributing bi-weekly box lunches to our Township/Village seniors, using money collected from the .25 mills for Senior Services of Lawrence Township.  Many have asked if they can donate additional funds online to allow us to continue the lunch distribution for a longer period of time.  We have set up a seperate bank account and PayPal account to collect these donations.
