elementary schools throughout the area.\u00a0 Some members joined the Hardman team on the Rooftop Patio to discuss our programs with guests there.\u00a0 In the Tiki Garden, we displayed samples of our Weekend Food bags, new clothing outfits, shoes, baby layettes, summer books, toiletries, and Hugs pillows.\u00a0 We also collected shoes for our GotSneakers campaign.<\/p>\n<p><a
