The non-profit hosted a farmers market in its parking lot to bring the community together. The event featured over 30 vendors, including farmers, food sellers, and plant vendors.
All funds raised from the event will be directed towards critical repairs, including restoring the building's roof, which has stood since 1926.
"It’s just constant grieving"
They say time heals all wounds, but for Deputy Andy Lahera, that adage is being tested. Lahera is still in the hospital and still recovering two years after the injury that changed his life and the lives of his family members.
