2021 Volunteer Video

2021 was an especially difficult year.  Besides the pandemic, Shine-Thru was held on one of the coldest days of the year to that point.  That didn’t keep almost 200 volunteers from honoring those in our communities with special gifts (needs).

We want to thank all of the volunteers that made Shine-Thru such a special event.  You truly were Unstoppable!
