In order to help the Schuls family as they transition to being home, a meal train has been started. The family will have a lot of extended family and friends with them over the next couple of weeks; therefore, there are three slots each day. Hoping people can coordinate to plan meals together. If you are able and willing to help, please click the link below to sign up. Thank you!
