Realities For Children’s Heartwarming Monthly Youth Activity – Tasty & Fun!
Despite the chilly weather, we had a great evening at our February Fireside Youth Activity was held at the Realities Homebase on February 11th.
Our Triumph firepit kept everyone warm as they toasted marshmallows for smores, and pinecone birdfeeders were made to hang around the campus in celebration of National Bird Feeding Month.
Our RFC therapy dog, Remi, even joined in the fun!
Our team and volunteers were blessed to bring smiles, fun, and this special youth activity to the children we serve. We are looking forward to seeing all the happy birds at Homebase and around our community!
