I organize various community efforts, including volunteering at the Boys and Girls Club of Jacksonville, Arkansas, feeding the homeless, and coordinating food drives to address local hunger. Additionally, I lead Christmas toy drives to bring holiday cheer to children, partner with elementary schools to maintain clothing closets, and manage back-to-school drives to provide low-income families with essential school supplies.
