Crazy Critters giving at Thanksgiving!
Crazy Critters put boxes of food together for families in need right before Thanksgiving. The families from the club brought food they had at home to put in the boxes and the club voted to buy the turkeys. The kids went to the family’s houses (with adults) and delivered the boxes to the family’s.
