It's the "Best Day of the Year", United Way of Etowah County Day of Action. 🥳💪

Thank you SO MUCH to our amazing volunteers from Alabama Power Service Organization (Eastern Division), Gadsden Regional Medical Center, Destin Mince from Frios Gourmet Pops, and Mrs. Marge Kszyminski Blaurock!

And thank you to Peoples Bank of Alabama for choosing our wishlist as their project this year and donating office supplies!

These hard working men and women have spent their morning deep cleaning our building and making sure that our office is a warm, cozy and inviting place for the children and families we serve. They also donated cleaning supplies to our agency to help us keep things clean. 💙
