Almost 3,500 Sock Rolls! Wow! A special thank you and congrats to all who joined our MLK Day Challenge! Many schools, groups and individuals were up for the challenge. They collected items, gathered in mass and assembled sock rolls to benefit homeless individuals.
February 23 is National Dog Biscuit Day! Bake a batch of homemade biscuits and deliver them to a local animal shelter. Or... sell the biscuits and donate the money to a favorite animal charity. Click here for a recipe..

Ambassador's January Meeting
Starting the year off right! Ambassador's gathered this month at McCaffrey's Market in Blue Bell. The group hosted a giving table to make sock rolls, snack bags and special cards of encouragement benefiting the homeless. It was great to get out into the community to spread awareness of all the GOOD our Giving Tree kids... and teens do!
