Editor's note: In preparation for Dexter's Home for the Holidays event, Think Dexter First volunteers will provide weekly columns focused on various aspects of the program leading up to Dec. 3.

Think Dexter First’s mission to help the community of Dexter is just that, an
exercise of the heart that lifts others. Think Dexter First and Running Fit are
partnering together for this year's Home for the Holiday’s event on Dec. 3.

This event includes various festivities throughout downtown Dexter. Activities include caroling, Breakfast with Santa, pictures with Santa at the gazebo, and The Holiday Hustle 5K fun run for charity.

For every runner that enters the race, a portion of their entrance fee goes directly back into the community of Dexter. Think Dexter First was able to donate to Faith In Action, Athletic Booster Club of Dexter, and , as well as sponsor a portion of the ice rink in downtown Dexter. In addition to the money given back to Dexter, each runner has an incentive to bring a canned/boxed food item as a donation to Faith In Action. This one event fills our local food bank for months.

Think Dexter First’s mission to help the community of Dexter has been un-
waivering. The commitment of the volunteers who organize The Home for the
Holiday’s event has been the same. It truly takes the heart of a village to lift a
village though and we need your help. Think Dexter First is looking for individuals who want to contribute positively to their community.
