Volunteering in Baldwin County
Our Daphne office was proud to volunteer with the Foster and Adoptive Parent Association this past week, a local organization supporting foster and adoptive families throughout the area.
The team spent the day helping prepare their Closet in Bay Minette, a free resource where qualified families can shop for essential clothing and items for children in their care.
They assisted with sorting donations, organizing shelves, and getting the space ready ahead of their upcoming community opening!
Honored to support an effort that provides care and meaningful resources to local families.
