You might have noticed our campus refreshed this week and that's all thanks to our amazing volunteers! Last weekend at Mission in Motion, they got to work on the lush bamboo that lines our campus, trimming it down to let the light shine in 🌞 Others worked on organizing, decluttering, and writing notes of encouragement to new clients. A round of applause for our volunteers! 👏👏👏
