๐Ÿฅ—๐Ÿ’š GIVING BACK, ONE MEAL AT A TIME! ๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿฅ—

This week, several Toward Independence team members had the incredible opportunity to serve side-by-side at One Bistro Xenia, a pay-it-forward community cafรฉ committed to feeding both bodies and souls.

They helped serve meals, greeted guests, washed dishes, wiped tables, and most importantly, shared in genuine human connection. ๐Ÿ’š

๐Ÿ™Œ AT THE HEART OF WHO WE ARE IS COMMUNITY.
Itโ€™s about more than the services we provide or the tasks we complete itโ€™s about BRINGING PEOPLE TOGETHER from all walks of life, sharing stories, and being in community with one another.

๐Ÿค THANK YOU, ONE BISTRO, for allowing us to help serve this amazing community meal. We trust that every guest who walked through your doors was as blessed by the experience as we were by your service, sacrifice, and spirit of generosity.

Volunteering at One Bistro reminded us why we do what we do to build stronger, more inclusive communities where everyone belongs. The pay-it-forward model isnโ€™t just about meals itโ€™s about creating a space where KINDNESS IS CURRENCY and everyone has something to give. โœจ

From the moment the music started and the first bubbles filled the air, the energy was electric. The foam was flying, the dance moves were flowing, and laughter echoed all around.
