What. A. Year. 🎉💚

The Newton County Junior Leaders did something incredible this year—raising 1,420 pounds of food for a local Newton County food pantry! That's double what they collected last year, making an even bigger impact on families in our community.

They didn't just Stock the Trailer... they truly stocked the shelves! 🥫❤️

A huge THANK YOU to all of our Newton County Junior Leader Pie in the Face Contest contestants and to everyone who donated. Your generosity, enthusiasm, and community spirit made this amazing accomplishment possible.

Together, we proved that when a community comes together, we can make a lasting difference. We can't wait to see what we accomplish next year! 💚🍽️
