Pouches' Community Corner
Be KIND at Home and Abroad
This month, Pouches highlights two community events and one international aid opportunity for families to support.
On October 13, there will be a Kindness Day pancake breakfast at Spotsylvania Towne Centre. On the 20th, the Happy and Healthy Kids Fair is at the Children's Museum Fredericksburg.
Also in October, Pouches is preparing for a trip to Ecuador to bring used orthotics and prosthetics to people in need in that country.
