Neighbors helping neighbors. ❤️

Our Pineview Memory Gardens cemetery crew took a little time today to lend a helping hand at Selma Area Food Bank, packing food boxes for their senior program.

Caring for our community extends beyond the gates of our cemetery, and we were grateful for the opportunity to serve alongside others helping our senior neighbors. Thank you to the Food Bank’s staff and volunteers for the work you do and for welcoming our crew!

We encourage other local businesses, churches, civic groups, and organizations to gather a team and get involved. A few helping hands can make a meaningful difference—and financial contributions help support this important work, too.
