In addition to a focus on road safety, the gift cards have also built and strengthened the relationship in the community.
A schoolteacher found 100-year-old letters beneath the floorboards during renovations. They tell a story between parents and their young, enlisted son fighting in WWI. The letters were donated to a Historian, Mathilde Bernardet, who decided to search for the soldier’s living relatives to return the letters. After months of researching, Mathilde was unable to locate any family and turned to Facebook to broaden her search.

Although the soldier was killed in WWI, unable to make it home, the letters finally found their way back to their family.
