My husband and I would like to send a big “thank you” to all the wonderful people that helped others during our recent snow storm. We ventured out to work on foot every day, and were offered rides into town and back home by the first car that drove by us each time we were out.

It’s truly amazing to live in a community where people are so willing to help each other, and even more so that we can feel comfortable enough to get into a car with a total stranger. Thanks, Bainbridge residents for being truly amazing neighbors.
