The Volunteer Tree 🌳
One of the most heartwarming moments this season was our Volunteer Tree. Here, our dedicated volunteers had the opportunity to write their names, leaving an indelible mark on our hearts and our mission.
Every name on that tree represents an individual or group who chose to make a difference in the lives of children in need. It’s a symbol of love, compassion, and the power of community coming together.
