Together, We Fed 490 Smiles

We’re thrilled to celebrate our incredible clients, students, and staff for making this year’s food drive such a success! Together, we collected 586 lbs of food, which helped feed 490 people for multiple meals. (Fun fact: that’s roughly the weight of 3 baby elephants! 🐘)
