First Baptist Church to hose Caregiver Appreciation Luncheon

First Baptist Church will host a special luncheon for family caregivers in connection with National Caregiver Appreciation Day on Thursday, February 20^th, 2020.

First Baptist Church, CORE Benefits and Investments and other local businesses are coming together to honor and celebrate the family caregivers in our community.  The appreciation luncheon is scheduled for Thursday, February 20^th at 11:30.  Lunch, entertainment and favors will be provided to those attending.
