Brewing Up Support: RTC at Richwood Coffee
What a fun morning! RTC Associate Taylor Young and Executive Director Tonya Reed spent two hours serving up more than 80 cups of coffee—bringing in an incredible $389! But it wasn’t just about the coffee; it was about the smiles, laughter, and community spirit that made the morning even more special.
