On Monday, November 15th, we packed 40 totes for our friends at the Alberta Hersey Foundation! A huge thanks to Lindsay Fox and Nitika Moran, our chairs of Soap For Hope. They had lots of kids packing totes full of cleaning and personal care products. Thank you to the many of you who donated so generously. It makes all the difference in the world!    Once again, we kicked off Soap for Hope with the Alberta Hersey Foundation’s Pandora and Adrian Hersey (seen below on right). Adrian’s mom was the founder. We piled their car with 40 totes that they will deliver to members of the community who will treasure them! ~ Miss Courtney
