Helping those in need...

Volunteers scramble to wash cars parked at the local Les Schwab Tire Center as they work to collect donations during a fundraiser held earlier this month. Volunteers raised $3,146 during the combination car wash and crappie fish fry to benefit Eletisia "Letty" Gates.

Gates receives a hug from Talyjah Lockhart, who was one of many people who stopped by the local tire center to offer their support.
