I cannot say enough about your volunteers! This was my first “Unleash” and they were “amazing”!! Someone even opened my car door for me when I arrived. Wow. I was so impressed by how helpful everyone was all day long. You could really see their “servant’s heart”!! Thank you to Newspring for hosting such a great day!
