We create more purpose in our lives when we help others. That is just what we did and do monthly. We partner with our local Salvation Army and do a community outreach project every month. This month we helped put together shower bags to be distributed. What a wonderful way to help the Smithfield community right from the comfort of our own assisted living community.
