Pretty Soul Kitchen Catering will be providing food for us again this year with vegetarian options available.

Remember, we want to hear from you and your family: How are you doing and how can our organization better meet you and your family’s shifting needs? What have you liked from OFC and where do you see opportunities for improvement?

Thanks to everyone!
