📢 Our FSB Volunteers in Action! This week, our amazing team of FSB volunteers lent a helping hand at the Assistance League of Southeastern Michigan Operation School Bell event. 🎒 ✨We had the incredible opportunity to provide school clothing and essentials to students in need, many receiving their very first new coat or clothes! It was truly heartwarming to see the smiles on their faces as they picked out warm coats, hats, gloves, tops, socks, hygiene kits, books, and even a brand-new duffle bag. 🧥🧤📚 Since 1995, this wonderful program has touched so many young lives. Our team was proud to have been part of something so meaningful!
