Happy birthday to our friend Ernie. We’re awfully fond of everything that makes you, you! 🧡
What does it mean to be charitable? Handy Hannah once taught us on the Friday Zone!
As we come together to celebrate the many joys we have in our lives this holiday, take a moment to consider what you can do to give back, as well.
Time is often looked over as a valuable donation - many food banks are feeling overrun this season and could use an extra pair of hands. Look online to see what organizations in your community are seeking volunteers - if you don't feel comfortable going alone, see if a friend or family member would care to join you!
Happy Halloween, every-body! 🎃 We hope you all enjoy a fun, safe night! Kiddos who are trick-or-treating should always go as a group, or accompanied by a trusted adult. 👯
Bloomington T-o-T hours are from 5:30 - 8:30 PM
