This year, SFCM Featured Band County Line Road teamed up with a local wounded warrior organization, No Warrior Left Behind to do a food drive to help benefit Wounded Warrior families in our area in need for the holidays. County Line Road performed numerous shows with a donation bin near the stage, collecting grocery store gift cards, cash donations and food items for the cause. Together, No Warrior Left Behind was able to provide full Thanksgiving dinner boxes to 23 wounded warrior families in Palm Beach County. No Warrior Left Behind would like to thank everyone that donated, including County Line Road, Patriots of Brotherhood, Starlight Yacht Services, S&L Ministries, Palm Beach Troop Support, Mike’s Auto and AC, and Faith Lutheran Men’s Club of North Palm Beach. This is what it’s all about!
