From the Mullinax Funeral Home

Today we helped with the Harvester’s food distribution, just as we try to do every month. Being involved in the community and offering a helping hand is very important to us. As we get closer to the holidays it seems even more important. Don’t forget to count your blessings this holiday season and give back when you can.
