Story
The Crouch-Dodsons are welcoming the newest member of their family this month! This page is an opportunity to support the growing family in the early days with Baby and as we navigate winter and the holidays. Check out the care calendar to sign up to drop off a meal (can be cooked or takeout from a restaurant - suggestions provided!) or have it delivered directly via the restaurant or through a delivery gift card for the family. Supporting from afar? Linked are gift card options for grocery delivery and food drop-off. Also sprinkled throughout are opportunities to support with care for big brother Rowan, walking Finley the dog, shoveling, etc. [You can sign up to walk the dog if you are already dropping off dinner, even if the times don't exactly align!] Major gratitude to the village!
