“We helped improve their landscaping, cleaned apartments, and set up furniture and essential items in apartments that provide a positive atmosphere to these families when they need it most.” said Wood. “These leaders make me proud for arriving a day early to volunteer at impactful organizations like Lydia’s House. These events are poignant reminders that if you want to lift yourself up, lift someone else first.” added Wood.
