little joy community, one of our Oak Cliff neighbors lost everything in a fire last week. While the family is safe, they are rebuilding their lives and need help with everything from food and hygiene items to school supplies and even clothes.
Right inside our front door to little joy cafe, we have three boxes where we are accepting donations for the family. Anything you can give, we would be so grateful. Please support our Oak Cliff and Elmwood neighbors!
A list of needed items are in the pictures after the video!
