Global Giving Day
Twenty-one volunteers from the NRG Limestone Power Plant in Jewitt, Texas gave of their time and energy on a hot day to build an outdoor education pavilion at Creekside. Volunteers also weeded gardens, helped students harvest potatoes and assisted with educational activities during transition class. We are so grateful for the generosity of both the employees and NRG Limestone for helping us to serve special needs youth and their families!
