Happy National Volunteer Day 💪✨

Today our girls showed up and put in real work at Cookie’s Thrift Store — giving back, learning responsibility, and being part of something bigger than themselves.

After putting in the work, the girls were able to pick out items for themselves — and thanks to Cookies, EVERYTHING they picked out was donated 💜

And the generosity didn’t stop there…
We also received books, games, and classroom tools that will continue pouring into our girls every single day.

Huge thank you to Cookies for ALWAYS giving back to the community. Your generosity does not go unnoticed.

So proud of these girls. Keep showing up. Keep rising.💜
