Advocates in Action
Express Employment Professionals held their annual client appreciation event and added a charitable component. They delivered large jars to over 30 clients with the request to donate spare change, dollars,etc. The grand total of $1,630 will help us feed a lot of children! Thanks for expanding the opportunity to your lovely clients.
Adorable Sisters
These adorable sisters (Mila and Ella) asked for food donations for Ella’s birthday celebration. Lots of 8-year-old girls donated 70 lbs of food, just 6 lbs over what Mila and Ella weigh (we put them on our big scale which elicited lots of giggles). Thanks for the food, big smiles and even bigger hearts from this lovely young family – good job Neeli!!
