We asked for artwork from our budding artists... and WOW... did they respond! We are so excited about the success of the contest and can't wait to share the entries with YOU!

Be on the lookout for an email next week. In that email you will get to see the artwork and have an opportunity to vote for your favorite pieces!

Military Appreciation Month
 
National Military Appreciation Month is celebrated every May and encourages us to say thank you. Thank you to the men and women who serve this amazing country of ours and of course to their families for sacrificing so much. 
 
Handwritten notes and cards of gratitude from kids is a great way to say 'thank you'. Click below for some ideas of what to write in your card.
Spring Clean Up Event
 
We invite you to check out this Spring Clean Up event hosted by one of our new supporters, The Harnick Team! We are so excited the Team has selected us to be their charity of choice for this year!

The Harnick Team is inviting you to this great event. Vendors on hand will be accepting clothing donations and donations of pet supplies. Also available is a chance for medication disposal, electronic recycling and document shredding. Click below for more information and to register.
Impact Interviews
 
Have you been checking out our YouTube lately? We have been busy conducting Impact Interviews this Spring with many of our nonprofit partners. These interviews give us a chance to learn a little bit about the amazing work being done by our friends in the nonprofit world. We also have an opportunity to hear just how the projects our Giving Tree kids create are impacting those individuals in need. #nonprofitpartners #kidscangiveback
