Steps for Charity Challenge

How do you get your steps?

“I WALK back and forth in my office, at home and while I read or watch videos. Whenever I can, I WALK to work and to run errands around town,” explained Denni Schuetzle, Cardiac Arrests member.

“I WALK grid patterns down by the Powder River looking for Whitetail sheds,” added Christine Appleman, member of Powder River Pals.

STEPS FOR CHARITY is at the half-way mark. And in MARCH, the weather couldn’t be springier for WALKING those extra steps.

The charities highlighted this week are:

Craft Fund for Powder River Manor Residents chosen by the Marching Mamas, who are Tammy and Ashley Van Tine, Shanna Talcott and Liz Riter. Marching Mamas chose to support the residents at the Manor and believe creating crafts is great recreation. The Powder River Manor can always use extra resources to continue quality educational programming for the residents.

Eastern Montana Community Mental Health Center (EMCMHC) is the charity chosen by the Berries and Cherries who are Brenden Stevenson, Callie Williams, Erica Naillon and Ayche Draine. They chose this charity because law enforcement works with people, who sometimes experience mental health or substance misuse issues. People are not aware of the programs and services available. “We’re stepping for EMCMHC to assist with the different invaluable programs and services they offer.”
