Earlier this year Emery asked us if - in lieu of presents - she could ask the children attending her party to bring donations to PADS (the homeless shelter where our family has volunteered in the past) . Kristen and I were really proud of her for thinking in this way, and Emery proud of the outcome. Nearly $150 in gift cards that can be given to shelter residents to purchase basic supplies, as well as a pile of canned goods and hygiene supplies were collected at the party this afternoon.
Way to go Emery!
