🎉 Big congratulations to our amazing partners at Uplift Wilco! 🎉
Today, it was an absolute honor to represent the Annie Purl Elementary community at the grand opening of their brand-new thrift store! 🛍️✨
Uplift Wilco does so much heavy lifting for our school. They aren’t just supporters; they are our dedicated reading buddies, our #1 volunteers on Title I nights, and incredible mentors to our students. They show up for Purl in countless ways, and we are so thrilled to show up and celebrate them today!
Make sure to go check out the new shop and support an organization that pours so much love back into our community. Cheers to this exciting new chapter, Uplift Wilco!
