3) Form your team for the Diaper Dash 5K on May 31st, and register now to get the early-bird rate;

4) Inquire about volunteering at our agency;

5) Refer one family, who is in need of services, to our agency;

6) Tell five friends, family members, co-workers, etc. about our mission;

7) Sponsor a child, with a commitment of 6 months or 1 year;
