We expanded our efforts to assist the elderly with free lawn care and personalized birthday cards for those in senior living facilities. Recognizing the needs of troubled youth, we developed mentorship programs aimed at providing guidance and support. Our work is fueled by a desire to make a tangible difference in the lives of those who need it most.
