🌟 Spreading Kindness and Wagging Tails! 🐾 On Christmas Eve morning, our amazing team came together for the Morning of Kindness at the Mohawk Hudson Humane Society 🐶🐱 Hundreds of community members came out to fill our trolley with pet supplies that will be used over the winter months. We were proud to support an organization that does so much for our furry friends in need. It’s not just about giving back—it’s about building a stronger community, one act of kindness at a time. 💛 Thank you to the Mohawk Hudson Humane Society for the incredible work you do every day. And thank you to our volunteers for showing up with such compassion and energy. Together, we’re making tails wag and hearts smile! #VolunteerWithHeart #MorningOfKindness #CommunityFirst #MohawkHudsonHumaneSociety #GivingBack
