💕Today kicks off the 2026 Cupid's Care Diaper Drive!💕

The whole month of February we will be collecting funds and diapers to support the children in our MiSide EarlyYears programs! Our families do not need to provide for their children while they are in our care, so we need to ensure our diaper room is stocked for the year ahead!

You can help in 3 ways! Either donate money to help us purchase diapers, or donate new packs of diapers at one of our drop box locations! If you can't donate, please share this post to help us spread the word!

Today we honor the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

His activism in the face of injustice serves as an inspiration to us all. Dr. King once said "Only in darkness can you see the stars." Let this be a reminder to be one of those stars. Even when the world feels dark, use your power to shine bright through love and care for your community.✨

Take today to reflect on Dr. King's legacy and honor him by spreading love. You could do this through your own activism, volunteering, or simply spreading kindness. 💕

Be kind to yourself and your neighbors.
