Sharing Love & Positive Energy. Creating Kindness. Being Community. What a beautiful day watching families, friends & individuals serve together for the greater good. What a beautiful day watching them catch their own light, leaving tired from hard work and feeling full of PRIDE & LOVE. It's always a good day when our hands & hearts are serving others.
Service fills you with Joy, Happiness and a true sense of accomplishment. It's fun too! (And always a wonderful learning opportunity.)
Thank you to all our volunteers who came together to make this such a great day! We at KIDS CARE have made a life of service and are forever grateful to the family, friends and community who have chosen to join us.
Paws-itively Perfect! Meeting Rose was such a sweet part of the day while we packed backpacks in July! Rose is the Cobb County District Attorney's Comfort Dog. Together, with her incredibly Kind handler, Angela Thorne, they serve to offer comfort to criminal victims of all ages during their criminal justice journey. 🐾💙 🌹
What a special duo these two are & what a blessing they give to people during very trying times in their lives. Thank you to Rose, Angela, and the DA's office for all you do for our community and for supporting KIDS CARE school supply drive.🐾💙 🌹
Our volunteers were blessed to share some very special moments with Rose. Together with her handler, they were an absolute delight to have layered into our already awesome day. Rose's calm and comforting energy radiated from her, creating lots of big Heartfelt Smiles.
Thank you to both Rose & Angela for your time, your comfort, your Kindness, your patience, your long work hours and all your Love. 🐾💙🌹 Rose is such a blessing to our community and we're so grateful we got to spend a little time with her and Angela.
