ADMISSION TO HELP LOCAL SCHOOLS FEED CHILDREN

Dogwood Exchange is waiving the entrance fee for this event on order to help local schools feed our children. We are requesting that festival goers bring food items for Cumberland County School Backpack Buddy Program. Children in need are provided a backpack of food to take home on Friday's so they have adequate nutrition over the weekends. With the holiday's approaching, children will be home for extended periods, and we would like to stock the pantries in anticipation for those breaks. A list of suitable items is listed below. If you would like to make a monetary donation the proceeds will be donated to "The Shoe Fund" located at Cumberland County School's Central Offices.

If you would like more information about these programs the student services coordinator is Emalee Breeding at 931-710-5517.
