πβ¨ COMMUNITY. HEART. ACTION. β¨π
Just as our supply closets were getting LOW on hygiene items π§΄, cleaning supplies π§½, paper goods π§», and laundry essentials π§Ίβ¦ the Jones County Dudes & Dolls Pageant family showed ALL the way OUT! ππ₯
Thatβs not coincidence. Thatβs COMMUNITY. π
We are beyond grateful for Lindsey Carr-Freeman and every single person involved in this incredible annual event that benefits the survivors we serve at DAFS. Lindsey works multiple jobs πΌ, is a proud military mom πΊπΈ, a college mom π, and a school mom π β and somehow still finds time to pour into area nonprofits through pageants all year long. πβ¨
If there were a DAFS Volunteer of the Year awardβ¦ Lindsey Carr-Freeman would absolutely be a leading contender. ππ No question.
To every participant, family, and helper who gathered hygiene items, cleaning supplies, paper products, and laundry essentials β THANK YOU!!! ππ These are not βextras.β These are dignity items. Stability items. Fresh-start items. π Because of you, our shelves are fuller and our survivors are supported.
And yβallβ¦ these photos? πΈ This is just HALF of it from the two morning age groups! π€―π Weβll be back this afternoon for even more!
Big cheers π
Big gratitude π
Big, over-the-top THANK YOU!!! πβ¨
This is what community looks like. πππ
