Harvest team member Mackenzie Schaer hosted a teddy bear drive for Alzheimer’s patients throughout the month of March. Patients suffering from this disease often feel lost, scared and uncomfortable. Having a teddy bear or doll can be a very effective way to reduce stress and agitation as well as increase their overall state of mind. Thank you to everyone who was able to make a donation! 2018-19 Harvest Team is sponsored by: Lozier Oil, Bank of Farmington, Joe and Emily Webel, Chad Johnson-Jim Maloof Realtor, Farmington Community Bank and Marilyn & Larry Gibbs.
