This was the year I started my first Annual Giving Tree. I partnered with Artistry by Nicole and Gregory Chiropractic and we raised over $400 together and then Usborne Books & More (now PaperPie) was able to match that at 50%. We gave The Wishing Well Foundation the donations in time for their big Christmas gift event. The Wishing Well Foundation is a non-profit organization that helps local children in the foster system and their foster families.
May is Mental Health Awareness month. I decided I wanted to share our amazing Mindful Kids Activity Books with a local school. I was able to donate 117 books to the counselor there!
When Russia started attacking Ukraine and there were so many families and children displaced, my team had the idea to spread some joy through books. We accepted donations and sent over coloring books, sticker books, and activity books to bring a little joy in a very hard time. This was only my contribution. The whole team was able to send much, much more.

The Family Renewal Shelter is a safe place for victims of domestic abuse to go for shelter. They see a lot of women and children. The books that were donated were for all the children that come through the shelter.
