Calling all Women in Business!
It’s time to trade the office for some community impact. We are coming together to volunteer at Operation Liberty Hill to fill Blessing Bags for local students who need a little extra food security over weekends and school breaks.
We’re doing things a bit differently this time: No $20 attendance fee! Instead, we’re asking each volunteer to use that $20 to purchase and bring items from the high-priority list below to help stock our assembly line.
