THANK YOU, DONORS!

Barb Food Mart wants to thank the many individuals who have given so generously over the past year — DeKalb staff, teachers, students and parents, community members, and religious and civic organizations.  Thank you to the companies, foundations, and agencies who have provided much needed funding through grants, some set up to respond to the needs of social service agencies during the pandemic.
