The HEAT Optimist Club works to help children and our community. You can help too by purchasing these delicious nuts, snacks, and chocolates. Every purchase allows us to continue with our many projects including our Christmas Shopping Spree, recognizing educators and first responders, and many others. Please help us with a purchase today!
