The RISE team in Valdosta, GA team assembled 55 Blessing Bags filled with donated essential needs and snacks. This special Valentine’s Drive was organized by QUOLA, a local soup kitchen dedicated to serving the homeless community.

A huge thank you goes to Brett Johnson for discovering this opportunity and bringing it to the team, our many team members who generously contributed, as well as to Becky Maynard, who invited her daughter’s school to partner with the RISE team and helped us secure many of the donated items.

This effort is a powerful reminder that there are countless opportunities like this in all our communities, just waiting for us to take part— if we stay vigilant in looking for them.
