Just seven days before the start of the 2021-22 campaign, we spent a day volunteering in the Troy community. As we do every year, we went out and picked up trash alongside the busy streets of Troy to make sure the town stays beautiful. That afternoon, groups of our squad went to the Christian Love Center and spent time mentoring kids and cleaning their greenhouse while another spent the afternoon at the Salvation Army where they helped organize the store.Â
During the summer of 2021 we were privileged to spend countless hours working and interacting with the children of the Royal Family Kids Camp |

When the summer hit we went right back to work helping our community with our annual trash pick up (6-1-21). |
