We would like to give a HUGE thank you to the amazing group of teens from the Grundy County 4-H Federation 💚 for their generous donation of cleaning supplies 🧼🧹 and other essential items 🏠. They took the initiative to gather supplies that will directly support our Grundy County residents who are facing homelessness as they transition into new homes.

These items help make those first days in a new space a little easier, more comfortable, and full of hope 💙. We are so grateful for the thoughtfulness, leadership, and community spirit shown by our community’s youth 🌟. Your efforts will truly make a difference!
