KIDS-R-US Therapy Gives Back
In a time when a lot of charitable organizations are struggling to meet the demand of people in need, KIDS-R-US Therapy pledged to give back to the community. During the holidays we organized a food drive and accepted donations of non-perishable food items.
Through the generous support of those participating, we were able to provide over 60 pounds of food to the Food Bank of Central and Eastern North Carolina. Thank you to everyone who helped make the food drive a success!
