They work with the schools, support Margie’s Haven House, store food for the community school when needed, and they have donated hams for giveaways during the Christmas holiday.

Outstanding Non - Profit of the Year was given to the The CALL in Cleburne County, an organization that works in conjunction with foster and biological parents, churches, local businesses, DCFS, and individuals to educate, support and love. A nominator wrote, “As a former foster parent, current volunteer and simply a community member, I see the Call representatives in action constantly as they aim to carry out their mission of “recruiting, training, and supporting the body of Christ to provide a future and hope for children in foster care.”

Through out the evening, laughter and conversations could be heard from the individuals and businesses that came together to support their local Chamber of Commerce and the evenings award winners. Molly’s Ransom ended the evening with a lively show for the attendees to dance to.
