direct impact on three
vital local organizations:

to supporting children
in foster care. It’s more
than just financial sup
port; our members found
immense joy in vol

allowing us to give back
to the community in
multiple meaningful
ways.”
This year’s event was
expanded to feature a
Georgia Barbecue As

much-anticipated com
munity event featuring
food trucks, activities,
grill demonstrations,
live local bands, and
more. What has made
this event even more ex
