Shepard staff members support Suits for Soldiers
Farmers Insurance collects formal wear for former military service members for job interviews
When asked to share a picture of the donations from Shepard High School staff members for the Suits for Soldiers campaign sponsored by Farmers Insurance, agent Sean Murphy.
"Unfortunately we can't get all of the items into one picture,," he said.

"Once again, thank you for all of your help with this campaign. Your efforts were above and beyond our expectations. I think we can all take pride in knowing that we have helped so many individuals who are in
need," he said.
