In January 2026, the Laurel Community Center partnered with MANNA Foodbank to make food more accessable in our rural low income community. Since the creation of our pantry, our volunteers have served over 36,000 pounds of food to nearly 800 families including nearly 200 children and 300 seniors!

To keep this amazing project going, and continue serving our community, we are asking for your support of $5 to purchase a bandana to be added to our flag! We started this fundraiser project at our 6th annual Freedom Festival on July 4th as an interactive art piece, fundraiser and back drop for our future Freedom Festival's - all at once! We now have decided to continue this fundraiser online so that all of our wonderful supporters have the opportunity to contribute to our Food Pantry as well as have their bandana added to our flag!

So, here's how it works:

1) Purchase a bandana square for $5

2) Customize your bandana (In the comments, please added the text/message you would like for us to add to the bandana you purchase. If you do not comment, your bandana will be left blank.)

3) Your bandana will be added to the flag which will be displayed at Laurel Community Center's Freedom Festival for years to come.

4) You have just provided 3 meals to families in our community- Thank You!

*You are welcome to purchase multiple bandanas if you would like to do so.
