✔️ Stock up on diapers, wipes, formula & meds
✔️ Have flashlights and extra batteries ready
✔️ Gather blankets, warm clothes, and sleep sacks
✔️ Have non perishable food and bottled water
✔️ Charge phones, power banks, etc
✔️ Keep a first aid kit easily accessible

A little prep now can make a big difference later. Stay safe, stay warm, and check on your neighbors! 🧡💙💚

Join us in supporting our local children through the Sunshine House. ❤️

🌟 Join us for The Sunshine House’s Annual Give - A - Thon Fundraiser! 🌟
We’re going LIVE on Facebook December 4th from 7 PM–9 PM, and we’d love for you to be a part of this meaningful night of giving, hope, and community support.

As we build up to the event, we’ll be sharing heartfelt reasons why your generosity matters. Each reason represents a child or family currently walking through our doors — children who are facing more than they should ever have to, and families working to rebuild and heal. These stories remind us just how important it is that they don’t walk this journey alone.

💛 Your gift can be the turning point.
Every donation helps provide safety, support, and healing for the children of our own community.

📲 You can donate by scanning the QR codes or calling 478-237-7801 at any time leading up to or during the live event.
Please mark your calendar, log on with us, and help spread the word. Your kindness could change a life right here at home.

Let’s come together and make a difference. ✨
