Some of the Grassroot Givers team pictured here, spent the beautiful day on Saturday to celebrate the life and legacy of Burnetta Parker - Roberta's mom and our longest-standing volunteer. Burnetta would have been moved by all the lovely tributes her family put together in her memory. We were honored to be in attendance at this beautiful Celebration of Life.
