Alicia’s House was founded in memory of Alicia, a loving 4-year-old who helped her Grandma Stella at the church food pantry. Alicia always added a sweet treat to each food bag — a tradition that continues today through Alicia’s House, which feeds hundreds of families with that same spirit of love and kindness.
