This week, we are teaming up with Holly Grove Middle School to fight hunger in our community! Our Fall athletic events will be held at Holly Grove on Wednesday and Thursday. Please come out and support our teams and the local community by bringing a non-perishable food donation to support the Holly Springs Food Cupboard. Please see the flier here for more details.
