Footloose for Lifeworks

When the middle schoolers hold a dance, it's never just a dance. Recently, at their Winter dance they joined forces and collected over 100 backpacks for the youth at Lifeworks in Austin. This organization strives to provide a hand, as well as safety, to families in crisis. On another occasion, the kids brought in over 400 pounds of dog and cat food for an animal shelter. Their giving spirit should truly inspire us. Imagine the overflow of goodwill if, whenever we gathered together for fun, maybe at a book club meeting or monthly coffee club, we took the effort to remember those who may not have that kind of friendship and support in their lives. Kudos to these young teenagers for starting what could be a wonderful trend!
