Gallatin R-5 School Backpack Buddies Program and Gallatin Active Aging Resource Center (AARC) have each received $7,500 donations from the Mary Immaculate Catholic Church. The funds were raised at a recent auction event conducted at Lake Viking, thanks to a very generous response to the church’s “Fund-a-Need” project.
