This year’s Interrupt holiday giveback was focused two high-impact organizations serving our community: the Ronald McDonald House Charities of Northwest Ohio and Toledo Humane Society.

The dropping of the ball on New Year’s Eve brought hope for not only a new year but also the anticipation of a new beginning. For most of us, 2020 brought many challenges, pain, and loss. The only certainty was uncertainty. We were all happy to leave 2020 in the rearview mirror.
