This is a day of caring to celebrate Cole's 16th birthday! We want everyone to take time out of their day to bless someone else- take a treat to a shut-in or neighbor, take some toys to the hospital, pay the adoption fee or take some food for a shelter animal-- be like Cole!

Since Cole would be 16 this year (WOW!), Cole's sweet friend Lilli had the great idea of collecting 160 lbs of pet food (dog or cat) and taking it to the shelter! So, we will be doing this in addition to other things to honor Cole! We will be taking toys to the hospital too! The link to our pet food wish list is here (and the food will be sent directly to our house for delivery—there are also some Band-Aids on there and we will gladly accept those too!):
