"History, despite its wrenching pain, cannot be unlived, but if faced with courage, need not be lived again."- Maya Angelou

As we celebrate Juneteenth, let us honor the enduring spirit of those who fought to end slavery. May this day serve as an inspiration to keep building a world where everyone can be free and thrive.

💙 Community coming together for families! 💙

On June 12, Gift of Life Foundation Parent Educator Bailey Adair partnered with Sav-A-Life of Luverne to host the Bundle of Joy Drive-Through Event, collecting diapers, wipes, baby items, and monetary donations to support local families with infants and young children.

With help from Pike County Parent Educators Shay Toney and Laken Little, the event was a wonderful success and a beautiful example of what can happen when organizations and communities unite for a common purpose. One donor shared their heartfelt appreciation for the work being done by both programs, expressing immense gratitude that families in Crenshaw County have access to organizations dedicated to supporting parents and young children during critical stages of development.

Thank you to everyone who donated, volunteered, and helped make a difference for families across Crenshaw County! 🍼💕

Special thanks to Mahogany Jordan, Healthy Steps Specialist, and Sav-A-Life of Troy for sharing valuable resources and information, including the Bright Course Program. Through meaningful conversations and activities, participants were reminded of the importance of community, self-grace, and the truth that there is no such thing as a “perfect” parent. 💙
