🌟 Huge shoutout to Rosalia and the team at Waste Connections for their incredible generosity!

She recently led a donation drive for household essentials to support youth starting out on their own. Thank you, Rosalia, for inspiring your coworkers and making a difference for young people in foster care! 🏡💙 #CommunityStrong #FosterForward #PayItForward
