Play is central to a child’s ability to grow into a productive adult. Together, we can ensure kids get the balance of play they need to thrive! Please join us and show that play matters to you.
On June 10th, volunteers from the Alice Aycock Poe Center for Health Education and MetLife Foundation will build a great new place for kids to play in ONE day.
