Yesterday was a wonderful day giving back as we were able to partner with one of Dad’s best friends. Backpack Buddies blessed 50 families yesterday in a retirement community lead by Pastor Jim Timmons. It was a beautiful morning of helping those in need while being able to work along side someone who meant so much to my Dad.

Special thank you Mrs. Jean and her volunteers who worked tirelessly to pack, weight and prepare all the food that was dispersed. Thank you to Jim Timmons who had the drive by event mapped out and lead the caravan. And of course, special thank you to Kelli Marks who has allowed me (and the initiative of Walking in Stu’s Footsteps) to serve under her and the Backpack Buddies umbrella to continue making a difference in the community!
