 Editor’s note: Hey everyone! A beautiful reminder was written on the community feed this week that I wanted to share. "Do you know your presence makes a huge difference? Little things, like a kind word, a smile, a hug, even a kind look can make a difference." Thanks for encouragement! Have a great week. |

The residents were existing on a diet of canned and sugary foods, the only diet the facility could afford. This is an all too common reality for many living in low income areas. They are cut off from access to fresh, wholesome foods. Robin Emmons was determined to change this.
