”During the past six years, Mariah has participated in numerous events and fund raisers at our fire department. During the 2007 ice storm, Mariah helped prepare and serve hot meals for the community at the fire department. Mariah helped separate, organize and prepare food baskets and distribute drinking water to the community during the ice storm. Mariah’s participation was truly appreciated.”
