A pretty great way to celebrate turning 11! 🎉

For his 11th birthday, Torin and his family decided to give back by collecting items and monetary donations for Community Shelter Services.

We love seeing young people in our community step up and find their own way to help others. The donations he collected will go directly toward helping the individuals and families we serve every day.

Thank you, Torin, for thinking of CSS on your birthday, and thank you to everyone who donated to help him give back! Happy 11th Birthday, Torin!
