Happy Friday! I hope this week has been filled with gratitude and positive moments—I know mine was! As a member of MPI St. Louis , we had our Day of Service this week, where we had the opportunity to volunteer at two wonderful organizations. We began our day at Rung for Women, where I already volunteer, but this time, I got to spend some time in their beautiful garden and farm. The produce grown at Rung’s farm is provided to members through a free weekly farmers market. In 2023 alone, the farm produced over 5,000 pounds of organic produce for the Rung community. After soaking up some sunshine, we toured some of their wellness amenities, and helped in the Rung Yoga Studio, which offers yoga to the community for free. In the afternoon, we visited the Animal Protective Association of Missouri, spending time in their puppy and senior spaces. We toured the facility, played with dogs, cats, guinea pigs, and even a ferret! We also helped the enrichment team provide tasty treats for the pets and witnessed a heartwarming adoption. The APA Adoption Center has facilitated over 3,000 adoptions this year alone. One adoption can have a ripple effect. Not only does a pet have a new home, but it opens space for another. It was a fulfilling day that reminded me there's something truly special about volunteering, it's not just about what you give; it's about the connections you build, the way it fills your heart, and the positive energy that comes back to you. We're all part of a larger community, and together, we can create meaningful change no matter how small. If you haven't volunteered lately, I encourage you to find a cause that resonates with you. The rewards are endless, and the experience is priceless. #Community #Volunteering #GiveBack #MakeADifference #PositiveImpact
