Summer is Here! Help Local Charities in Need!

Lewis & Raulerson – Friendly Express Charitable Foundation, Inc. recently visited two local charities.  They included HOOVES TO FREEDOM and GEORGIA LIONS’ CAMP.  Both charities are in need this summer.  You can help by giving donations to support their efforts.

Accepting a $1,000 check for Hooves to Freedom is Hilary Cooler, owner and Nick, student.  The charity enables individual healing, growth and independence through therapeutic horsemanship.

Georgia Lion’s Camp accepted a $1,000 check to help with the summer camp for the blind.  The camp’s mission is to provide personal growth experiences for people of all ages with visual impairments using recreation, education, socialization and rehabilitation in an outdoor setting.  Pictured are student ages 6-12 years old and staff.

Lewis & Raulerson – Friendly Express are encouraging other businesses in the area to help as well by donating to organizations such as Georgia Lions’ Camp and Hooves to Freedom.  Together we can make a difference.
