✨ Volunteer Highlight: Meet Debbie Akers ✨
Debbie started volunteering when she heard we needed help 🙏 and she’s been showing up with her big heart ever since.
She’ll tell you volunteering gets her out of the house, but we see something more. We see how she cares deeply for the baby shop, we see it in how hard she works, and we definitely see it in the way she makes families feel the moment they walk in. Debbie has a warm, nurturing presence that can make anyone feel at ease.
When she’s not at the Baby Shop, Debbie enjoys designing on her Cricut, creating resin pieces, getting lost in a good book, playing games, and spending time with her grandbabies.
Debbie told us her sweetest moment so far at the baby shop was when a little girl came in and found a dress she loved. The girl immediately ran over to Debbie to show her. Debbie told her what a beautiful dress she picked out, and the little girl smiled, stood straight, instant confidence growing, and said, “This will be my church dress.”
What Debbie wishes more people knew about the baby shop?
"I wish more people knew about it. It's free for all families and the fact that they can shop once a month is really helpful cuz we all know how fast kids can grow!"
We agree. We wish more people knew about the baby shop, too.
💛 Following our page and sharing our posts helps more Floyd families find us.
💛 Donating helps more families find the items they need.
Debbie, thank you for your big heart, your kindness and generosity. We appreciate you more than you know! We are so grateful you are a part of our village 🥰
